Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
In the
given question, both the statements are correct. Meat, fish and pickles are
salted before storage as slat induces endosmosis in their cells. This endosmosis
protects the food materials from degradation and helps in their preservation.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
