Correct Answer » C Explanation |
 |
- Monoenoic fatty acids contain one double bond.
- Oleic acid is a monounsaturated (monoenoic) fatty acid.
Fatty Acids:
- Oleic acid → 1 double bond (monoenoic)
- Linoleic acid → 2 double bonds (dienoic)
- Linolenic acid → 3 double bonds (trienoic)
- Arachidonic acid → 4 double bonds (polyunsaturated)
