Answer is C – Unsaturated fat.
Fats are large molecules basically made from a combination of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids. Usually fats consist of C, H and O. According to the C – C bond, there are two types of fats as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have only C – C single bonds and all C atoms are sp³ hybridized atoms. But in unsaturated fats other than C – C single bonds there are C – C double bonds.
Hence, both sp³ and sp² hybridized C atoms can be seen.
