Explanation:
Among the given options, vegetable oils account for the highest imports in terms of value in the last five years. India is one of the largest importers of vegetable oils in the world. The country imports a significant amount of edible oils, such as palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and others, to meet its domestic consumption demand. The import of vegetable oils is driven by factors like increasing population, changing dietary patterns, and the need to bridge the gap between domestic production and demand.
