The correct answer is:
oleic acid
Unsaturated fatty acids contains one or more double bond in their carbon chains.
Their general formula is $\mathrm{C}_{n} \mathrm{H}_{2 n-2 x} \mathrm{O}_{2}$.
$\therefore$ Oleic acid $\left(\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{34} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)$ is unsaturated fatty acid with one double bond.
