Solution

The correct option is D hydrogenation
The process involved in the conversion of oils into fats is called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation converts liquid vegetable oils into solid or semi-solid fats, at a very high temperature. Changing the degree of saturation of the fat changes some important physical properties such as the melting range, which is why liquid oils become semi-solid trans fats.
