The FDA would allow claim D because it is a qualified health claim, meaning it acknowledges that "many factors contribute" to heart disease and that reducing saturated and trans fat may only "reduce the risk" of this disease. The other claims are unqualified or make unproven/misleading statements that the FDA would not allow.
