Detailed explanation-1: -d) The saturated fatty acids have more H atoms than the unsaturated fatty acids of the same length. The unsaturated fatty acids contain more carbon-carbon double bonds than saturated ones. Hence option d is correct.

Detailed explanation-2: -A: The saturated fatty acid molecule has 12 hydrogen atoms. This is as many hydrogen atoms as can possibly be bonded to carbon atoms in this molecule. The unsaturated fatty acid molecule has 10 hydrogen atoms, or two less than the maximum possible number.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fatty acids (SFA) have no double bonds, while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have one double bond and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have two or more double bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, saturated fatty acids contain no carbon-to-carbon double bonds, monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-to-carbon double bond, and polyunsaturated fatty acids contain two or more carbon-to-carbon double bonds. Table 3.2. 1 lists some common fatty acids and one important source for each.

Detailed explanation-5: -[C] A saturated fatty acid chain contains double the number of carbon atoms that an unsaturated fatty acid chain contains.
