✓ Answer: C Addition reaction
Hydrogenation of vegetable oil is an addition reaction, where hydrogen is added to unsaturated fats, converting them into saturated fats. This process uses hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst, commonly nickel, to transform liquid oils into solid or semi-solid forms, such as margarine, by stabilizing the oil and increasing its melting point.
