Answer: B. Linoleic acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid for humans. It is a colorless or white colored oil. It is typically insoluble in water. It cannot be found deficient in the human body as humans obtain it in the form of different kind of food items like vegetable oils, seeds, eggs, meat and nuts. Thus it is abundantly consumed in the diet.
