The fact that the triglyceride contains an unsaturated fatty acid tells us that it is a liquid oil. The presence of an unsaturated fatty acid also tells us that it is unsaturated, meaning it contains at least one double bond. The question specifies that this particular fatty acid has both cis and trans arrangements at the double bonds.
