Solution

The correct option is A Elaeis
Palm Oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp of the fruit of the oil palms Elaeis guineensis (African oil palm), Elaeis oleifera (American oil palm).
Palm oil is naturally reddish in color because of a high beta-carotene content. It is a common cooking ingredient in the tropical belt of Africa, Southeast Asia and parts of Brazil. Its use in the commercial food industry in other parts of the world is widespread because of its lower cost. Hence option A is correct.
