Solution

The correct option is B
Omega 3

Omega 3

Omega 3 is an essential polyunsaturated long chain fatty acid. It is essential because our bodies can’t make it on our own. The only way to get the Omega 3 we need is to eat it. The Omega 3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are found almost exclusively in fish and seafood.
