The correct statement is:

**A cis fatty acid has hydrogen atoms aligned on the same side of the double bond while a trans fatty acid does not.**

In cis fatty acids, the hydrogen atoms adjacent to the double bond are on the same side, causing a bend in the structure. In contrast, in trans fatty acids, the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond, resulting in a straighter structure.
