Answer:

The correct answer is attached as image with answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monounsaturated fats are simply fatty acid molecules that have one unsaturated carbon bond or also known a double bond while other carbon atom with single carbon atom.

The most common monounsaturated fatty acids are with 12 to 22 carbon atoms however, there are 10 carbon atom also present. The missing and correct atoms with groups are shown in image with total 10 carbon atoms. The counting of the atoms start with the atom with arrow.
