  • Statement (b) is correct. Lecithin is indeed a phospholipid.
  • Statement (c) is also correct. Trihydroxy propane is another name for glycerol, which is a common component of lipids.
  • Statements (a), (d), and (e) are incorrect:
  • Statement (a) is incorrect. Lipids having only single bonds are called saturated fatty acids, not unsaturated fatty acids.
  • Statement (d) is incorrect. Palmitic acid has 16 carbon atoms, not 20.
  • Statement (e) is incorrect. Arachidonic acid has 20 carbon atoms, not 16.
