Correct Answer <p>as a healthier option</p>

 Correct Option - 3

‘Healthier’ is the comparative form of ‘healthy’. Therefore, the use of the word ‘more’ is not required before it as it means forming the comparative of adjectives and adverbs, especially those of more than one syllable but here the comparative degree, that is, 'healthier' is already mentioned so it should be deleted as we cannot use two forms of comparative degree together in any given sentence. And, the option with the superlative degree, that is, 'healthiest' can't be used because here the comparison is between 'two' varieties of oils and when the comparison is between two, then the comparative degree of comparison is used.

Thus, option (3) is the correct choice.
