Solution
The correct option is B Unsaturated
The essential fatty acids, which are required for the higher animals and humans for their grwoth and development cannot be sysnthesized in their bodies. In case of humans these have been identified as alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. These are short chained polyunsaturated fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized, because of the absence of desaturase enzymes in the body.
