Solution
The correct option is C glycerol
Oils and fats are esters of fatty acids with glycerol. They both belongs to the class of lipids. Oils and fats have similar compositions, but oils are liquid at room temperature and fats are partially solid. They both contain esters derived from glycerol (propane−1,2,3−triol) and carboxylic (often called fatty) acids. Therefore, fats and oils are commonly called triglycerides.
