Detailed targeting

Likes and Interests: Likes and Interests allows you to refine your ad's target audience based on what they've included in their profiles, as well as the Pages, groups and other things on Facebook they've connected with. This includes sections like interests, activities, favorite music, movies and TV shows.

Behavior: Similar to what Likes and Interests are, Behaviors are information on what a Facebook user probably likes, based on Pages he likes that are related to actual interests.

Custom Audience: Generally speaking, a Custom Audience is an ad targeting option that lets you find people who already know your business on Facebook. Using this option will let you use sources like customer lists, engagement data from Facebook or website/app traffic to create Custom Audiences.
