A fatty acid is a very important component of lipids and it is formed by a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms with their respective hidrogen atoms and at one of the ends of the chain it has a carboxyl group (represented as -COOH).

Therefore the correct answer is:

The functional group that can be found in every fatty acid is a carboxyl group.
