Solution

The correct option is B Triglyceride
Fat in the strictest sense, the term means neutral or true fat. It is a triglyceride, which is an organic ester of three molecules of fatty acid combined with one molecule of glycerol. This is the form in which fats occur chiefly in foodstuffs and in fat depot of most animals.
