Solution

The correct option is C fat and oil
Glycerides, more correctly known as acylglycerols, are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. Vegetable oils and animal fats contain mostly triglycerides, but are broken down by natural enzymes (lipases) into mono and diglycerides and free fatty acids and glycerol.
So, the correct option is 'fat and oil'.
