    The correct option is: c. no double bonds within the hydrocarbon chain

    Explanation:

    Fatty acids are the simple lipid molecules, that are insoluble in polar solvents. These are 4-28 carbon long carbohydrate chains with a terminal carboxyl functional group.

    The two types of fatty acids are: Saturated fatty acids and Unsaturated fatty acids

    Saturated fatty acids contains hydrocarbon chain that has zero or no carbon - carbon double bond (C=C bond).

    Whereas, the hydrocarbon carbon of unsaturated fatty acids has one or more than one carbon - carbon double bond (C=C bond).
