    Answer: Lard contains the most hydrogen atoms

    Explanation:

    Unlike butter, lard contains more saturated fats, higher monounsaturated fats, and no trans fat (a type of unsaturated fat).

    Thus, the presence of more saturated fats allows for more hydrogen atoms to confer heat stability to lard.

    So, lard contains more hydrogen atoms
