Solution

The correct option is A mixing undesirable material in food

Adulteration usually refers to mixing other matter of an inferior and sometimes harmful quality with food or drink intended to be sold. As a result of adulteration, food or drink becomes impure and unfit for human consumption. The federal Food and Drug Administration prohibits transportation of adulterated foods, drugs, and cosmetics in interstate commerce, as provided under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act . State and local agencies, acting under the authority of local laws, do the same to ban the use of such impure goods within their borders.
