Answer:

D. Trans Fat

Step-by-step explanation:

Trans fat is made through the hydrogenation of unsaturated fats. The use of trans fat extends shelf-life of foods and is said to boost flavor. However, the body is not able to process these fats and can have a detrimental effect on the body. Trans fat is known to increase cholesterol in the body so you will be more at risk for other diseases like diseases of the heart, diabetes, and even stroke.
