The answer is (A) the treatment made the fat less fluid

Explanation:

Hydrogenation is the process by which hydrogenated fats (Like vegetable oils) are made creamy. In this process the unsaturated fat is converted into a saturated fat.

The molecular shape ("trans" shape) of the unsaturated fat is also changed.
