Solution

The correct option is A Hydrogenation reaction
Cooking oil is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which can undergo addition of hydrogen to form saturated hydrocarbon, e.g., alkene to alkane while this hydrogenation addition reaction is not possible for butter or ghee as butter and ghee are saturated hydrocarbons.
$C_{2} H_{4} + H_{2} \to C_{2} H_{6}$
