Solution

The correct option is D Ester bonds
The neutral or natural fat is a lipid made of glycerol and three fatty acids. These three fatty acids are attached to the glycerol backbone with the help of an ester bond. The ester bond is formed as a result of a condensation reaction between the carboxylic acid in the fatty acid and the alcohol group of the glycerol moiety. A water molecule is lost during the reaction and ester bond is formed.
