Answer:

A. by reacting animal fat or vegetable oil with water.

D. by treating animal fat or vegetable oil with hydrogen

Explanation:

Water is insoluble in animal fat or vegetable oil so it makes a layer on the surface of oil. When animal fat or vegetable oil react with hydrogen, it produces solid oil called ghee not biofuels. Biofuel is produced when animal fat or vegetable oil react with alcohol.
