Solution

The correct option is C Fats
Fats is a group of natural esters of glycerol along with various fatty acids. They are generally solid at ordinary room temperature. Fats store energy in the body, protect body tissues by insulating them, cushion internal organs, and transport fat-soluble vitamins in the blood. Fats are soft, low-melting solids, with a density less than that of water.
