Which outcome occurs when a free radical molecule encounters unsaturated oil?

A)Chain polymerization propagates rapidly
B)Esterification reaction forms new linkages
C)Saponification produces glycerol and soap
D)Hydrogenation reduces carbon double bonds

💡 Explanation

Chain polymerization propagates rapidly because the free radical initiates addition reactions at the unsaturated carbon bonds. This propagation continues along the oil molecule activating successive bonds one after another rather than forming a stable ester directly.
