The correct option is B
Fats

Fat is the richest source of energy. It belongs to the group of substances called lipids. It can be either solid or liquid at room temperature. Oily patches are observed when a small quantity of food is wrapped in a piece of paper and crushed. Therefore, the presence of fat in food can be tested with the help of paper.
