Saturated

|
|
Monounsaturated
|
|
|
Polyunsaturated

|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If there are only single bonds between neighboring carbons in the hydrocarbon chain, a fatty acid is said to be saturated. (The thing that fatty acids are saturated with is hydrogen; in a saturated fat, as many hydrogen atoms as possible are attached to the carbon skeleton.)
Detailed explanation-2: -In saturated fatty acids, carbon atoms are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible.
Detailed explanation-3: –Saturated fats contain only single bonds in the carbon chain, with all excess carbon electrons bonded to hydrogen.-Unsaturated fats do not have all excess carbon electrons bonded to hydrogen.-There are two types of unsaturated fats: cis and trans.
