Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unsaturated fats, which are liquid at room temperature, are considered beneficial fats because they can improve blood cholesterol levels, ease inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms, and play a number of other beneficial roles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and are called oils. If there is only one double bond in the molecule, then it is known as a monounsaturated fat; e.g. olive oil. If there is more than one double bond, then it is known as a polyunsaturated fat; e.g. canola oil.

Detailed explanation-3: -The building blocks of unsaturated fats have bends or kinks that don’t allow the blocks to be tightly stacked and thus, appear more fluid and are liquid at room temperature.
