Vedclass · Answer

(B) Butter is a lipid that remains solid at room temperature because it consists primarily of long-chain saturated fatty acids.Saturated fatty acids have straight hydrocarbon chains that can pack closely together,leading to strong intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces) and a higher melting point.Therefore,both $A$ and $R$ are true,and $R$ is the correct explanation for $A$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ Stearic acid	$(a)$ $CH_3-(CH_2)_2COO^-$
$(2)$ Butyric acid	$(b)$ $CH_3-(CH_2)_{16}COO^-$
$(3)$ Palmitic acid	$(c)$ $R-COOH$
$(4)$ Fatty acid	$(d)$ $CH_3(CH_2)_{14}COO^-$

$A$: Butter is solid at room temperature.
$R$: It contains long-chain saturated fatty acids.
