Unsaturated fats are:
  1. Always essential
  2. Solid at room temperature
  3. Liquid at room temperature
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. This is because there is a kink in their structure, and the molecules are not able to pack in tightly on top of one another. This creates space and hence liquid. All oils/fats have different melting points however.
