Saturated fats are found primarily in animal-based foods and are solid at room temperature.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fats are found in animal-based foods like beef, pork, poultry, full-fat dairy products and eggs and tropical oils like coconut, and palm. Because they are typically solid at room temperature, they are sometimes called “solid fats.”

Detailed explanation-2: -➢ Saturated fats are primarily found in foods that come from animals, such as meat and dairy. Try to switch to lower-fat versions of these foods. ➢ In order to avoid trans fat, look on nutrition labels for ingredients such as “partially hydrogenated” oils or shortening.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fat is mainly found in animal foods, but a few plant foods are also high in saturated fats, such as coconut, coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil. Cutting back on saturated fat will likely have no benefit, however, if people replace saturated fat with refined carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Is Saturated Fat? Tightly-packed fats that are solid at room temperature because they contain no double bonds in their chemical structures are known as saturated fats-because their structures contain as many hydrogen atoms as possible and they are “saturated” with hydrogen.
