A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats satisfy appetite (the desire to eat) because they add flavor to foods. Fat contains dissolved compounds that contribute to mouth-watering aromas and flavors. Fat also adds texture, making baked foods moist and flakey, fried foods crispy, and adding creaminess to foods like ice cream and cream cheese.

Detailed explanation-2: -Typically, our bodies operate in this way: we gain adipose tissue (fat) and our bodies decrease its secretion of ghrelin, and increase its leptin production, telling our brains that we’re full and satisfied for the next couple hours at least.

Detailed explanation-3: -A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, which means they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.
