which type of bond is found in many carbon - to - carbon bonds in canola oil, but very few carbon - to - carbon bonds in butter?
○ c - c
○ c = c
○ c = h
○ c - h

Explanation:

Canola oil is an unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats have \(C = C\) (carbon - carbon double bonds). Butter is a saturated fat, which has mainly \(C - C\) (carbon - carbon single bonds). \(C = H\) is not a valid bond type. \(C - H\) bonds are present in both but are not the differentiating factor here.

Answer:

B. \(C = C\)
