Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Unsaturated fats are more reactive due to the presence of the multiple bonds between carbon atoms. They undergo a chemical reaction(like hydrolysis, hydrogenation etc.) easily due to the presence of multiple bonds. Hence, the unsaturated fats are more reactive compared with the saturated fats
Unsaturated fats contain one or more double bonds so these molecules are said to be unsaturated.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
