Question
Can you please solve this question

This consists of a single chain of carbon atoms with hydrogens, with typical double bonds at specific positions denoting a possible unsaturated fatty acid.
- **Compound II**

Similar to Compound I but with a different structure, potentially indicating a different type of unsaturation.
- **Compound III**

Longer chain carbon structure with multiple bends and points of unsaturation, suggesting a more complex fatty acid.
- **Compound IV**

Resembles the structures of Compounds I and II but with modifications potentially relevant for its classification.
#### Answer Choices
- A) Compound I
- B) Compound II
- C) Compound III
- D) Compound IV
- E) Compound III and IV
To identify an Omega-3 fatty acid, look for a double bond three carbon atoms away from the methyl end (omega end) of the fatty acid chain.
