The best choice would be C.

A saturated fatty acid is a basic unit of lipid that consists of only single carbon to carbon bonds.

Saturated fatty acids have been “saturated” with hydrogen ions and only have single carbon to carbon bonds, unlike unsaturated fatty acids that have both single and double bonds and have kinks and aren’t straight.

Saturated fatty acids are solid in room temperature(animal fats) and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid in room temperature(oils/plant fats).

The average of these numbers will be 177.42.

<h3>What is meant by average? </h3>

The number obtained by the addition of all the quantities present in a data set and dividing it by the total number of values of the data set is called average. The average value is used to express the central value of a data set.

It is used for various purposes. For example, when a company wants to find out the average age of the users of their products, the government wants to find the average age of smokers in an area.

The values presented in this case are - 135.0cm, 162.5cm, 180.0cm, 235.0cm, 185.0cm, and 167.5. Their average will be found by the sum of all these values and by dividing the sum by 6, the total number of values.

Here,

$\frac{135.0 + 162.5 + 180.0 + 235.0 + 167.5}{6}$ = 177.42.
