The correct answer is: Addition of antioxidant to oil minimizes rancidity
Saponification of oils yields a triol (glycerol). Drying (hardening) of oil involves hydrogenation. Refining of oil is done by distillation or other such processes but not by hydrogenation.
Antioxidants are added to prevent the oxidation of oil, thus they minimizes rancidity.
