Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
: (b) Cholesterol is a fat like material (a sterol) present in the blood and most tissues especially nervous tissue. Cholesterol is synthesized in the body from acetate, mainly in the liver and blood concentration is normally 140-300 mg/100 ml. It can exists as a free sterol or esterified with a long chain fatty acid. High cholesterol is harmful for the body. So, high cholesterol patients are advised to take groundnut oil, margarine and vegetable oils, as these contain polyunsaturated fatty acids that contain less cholesterol in them.
