Solution

The correct option is C Glycerol
Soaps are prepared from vegetable oils and animal fats, containing tri-esters called triglycerides.

These triglycerides can be converted to soap by treating them with a strong base, which accelerates cleavage of the ester bond and releases the fatty acid salt and glycerol.

The attached image shows the reaction.

Option D is correct.
