Which of the following are omega-6 fatty acids? a. palmitoleic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{5} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}$ b. oleic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{COOH}$ c. linoleic acid, $$ \mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right) \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{COOH} $$ d. linolenic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}\left(\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2}\right)_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{6} \mathrm{COOH}$ e. paullinic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{5} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{11} \mathrm{COOH}$
