A

Explanation:

Butter, as good as it is, is not exactly good for us. Butter is an animal fat, or a saturated fat. This means that at room temperature these fats will remain solid. There is some science behind it and ill say this quickly, it has to do with the carbon atoms being packed with hydrogen atoms. This allows them to intertwine and be solid. The Vegetable Oil being unsaturated, a plant fat, is good for us! These are missing some of the atoms needed to make them stand up straight and be solid. So these are always liquid at room temperature! :)
