    Question: Which vegetable oil is good for heart patients?

    Options:

    Groundnut oil
    Mustard oil
    Soybean oil
    Sunflower oil

    ✅ Explanation: Sunflower oil is generally considered a heart-healthy oil due to its high content of polyunsaturated fats, particularly linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). These fats can help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels when used in place of saturated fats. Sunflower oil also contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant that may help protect against heart disease.

    📌 Other Options Explanations:
    -(a) Groundnut oil: Groundnut oil is also a healthy option, with a balance of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. It's a good source of Vitamin E and resveratrol, which may have heart-protective benefits. However, it does contain some saturated fat.
    -(b) Mustard oil: Mustard oil has a unique flavor and is popular in some cuisines. It has a good balance of fatty acids, but it also contains erucic acid, which in high amounts can be harmful to the heart.
    -(c) Soybean oil: Soybean oil is primarily composed of polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower LDL cholesterol. However, it also contains a significant amount of omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed in excess compared to omega-3 fatty acids, may have some negative health implications.
