Which statement correctly describes how the degree of unsaturation in fatty acids influences melting point?

• A. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds and pack tightly, giving higher melting points.
• B. Monounsaturated fatty acids have more than one double bond, which increases packing and raises melting point.
• C. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have no double bonds and melt at higher temperatures.
• D. The degree of unsaturation does not affect melting point.
