A canola oil is an edible oil which has a composition of 7.365 percent for saturated oils 63. 276 percent for unsaturated oils and 28.142 for other oils. since the largest percentage is the unsaturated oils, it is implied that there are more double or triple bonds in the structure than single bonds. Hence the answer is b.)C=C. C) is not valid since H is only capable of 1 bond

b.)C=C is the right answer.
because having more double bonds than single bonds decreases the melting point and, hence, the fluidity of the substance this is why butter is a solid but canola oil is a liquid at room temperature.
