A. A saturated fatty acid

C. A polyunsaturated fatty acid with cis bonds
D. A trans-fatty acid that is polyunsaturated
参考答案:
C
本题详细解析:
Alpha-Linolenate has more than one double bond in its carbon chain and is therefore a polyunsaturated fatty acid with cis bonds.
Since there is more than one double bond in the carbon chain of alpha-Linolenate it cannot be a saturated fatty acid (Choice A) or a mono-unsaturated fatty acid (Choice B). The double bonds are causing the chain to bend and have hydrogens on the same side of the double bond, hence the double bonds cannot be trans (Choice D).
