Solution

The correct option is C One or more double bonds
Fats or fatty acid which has at least one double bond in the chain is called as an unsaturated fatty acid. They are liquid at room temperature as they have double bonds. With the increase in the double bond, the intermolecular interaction gets weak and the melting point decreases.
So, the correct answer is option C.
