The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given fats contains unsaturated fatty acids, we can analyze each option: 1. **Ghee**: Ghee is clarified butter made from cow's milk. It primarily contains saturated fatty acids. Therefore, ghee does not contain significant amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. 2. **Curd**: Curd is a dairy product that contains a mix of saturated and some unsaturated fatty acids, but it is not primarily known for high unsaturated fat content. 3. **Sunflower Oil**: Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil that is well-known for its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega-6 fatty acids. This makes sunflower oil a rich source of unsaturated fats. 4. **Fish Oil**: Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are unsaturated fats. However, it is not as commonly recognized as a cooking oil compared to sunflower oil. Based on this analysis, the fat that contains the highest amount of unsaturated fatty acids among the options provided is: **Answer: Sunflower oil (Option C)**
