Correct Answer: both


Solution : The right choice is the first option .

Explanation: The word "both" is used to refer to two items or groups collectively. In this context, it indicates that palm oil can be added to two categories: food and personal products (like lipsticks and shampoo). The use of "both" appropriately connects these two distinct categories, emphasising that palm oil is a common ingredient in each.

Therefore, the correct answer is both.
