Solution

The correct option is C Hydrogenation and Nickel
Vegetable oils, which have long unsaturated carbon chains, can be converted to animal fats such as ghee, which has saturated carbon chains, by the addition of hydrogen using nickel as a catalyst. This process is known as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
