Solution

The correct option is B Removal of nutritional value of food items
Adulteration is a process of mixing undesirable and inferior materials in food. The material or substance which is added to food is called as adulterants. Adulterated food is impure, unsafe, or unwholesome food. So, adulteration results in decreasing the nutritional value of food items.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
