That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
A trans-fatty acid is the correct answer because it is a type of fatty acid that has an odd molecular shape and is formed when oils are hydrogenated. Hydrogenation is a process in which hydrogen is added to unsaturated fats to make them more solid and stable, but it also creates trans-fatty acids. These trans-fatty acids have been linked to negative health effects and are often found in processed foods.
