b. olive oil.

Monounsaturated fats are fat molecules that have one unsaturated carbon bond in the molecule (also called a double bond). Oils with this fat molecules are liquid at room temperature and start to become solid when it's cold, just like olive oil does.
They can help reduce LDL cholesterol in the blood, leading to less risk of
heart disease and stroke.
