Solution

The correct option is A

Vegetable oil such as groundnut oil


A high intake of saturated fat causes high blood cholesterol which ultimately gets deposited in the walls of the arteries causing their blockage resulting in various cardiac diseases. Ghee, butter, red meat and vanaspati are rich sources of saturated fats. A patient with high blood cholesterol is suggested to consume unsaturated fats as vegetable oils.
