d

Answer 1

The statement that provides accurate information about dietary fats is:

b. Unsaturated fats may be good for your health.

Unsaturated fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, can be beneficial for heart health and are found in foods like olive oil, nuts, and fish. The other statements contain inaccuracies: fats are used for more than just energy (a), some fats are essential for health (c), and trans fats are primarily found in processed foods rather than primarily in animal foods (d).
