Q1.Which of the following best explains why fatty foods feel more "heavy" or satiating compared to carbohydrate-rich foods of equal mass?

AFats require more water for digestion, creating a sense of fullness

CFats stimulate greater insulin secretion, promoting satiety signals
DFats are digested more slowly in the stomach, delaying gastric emptying
