Solution

The correct option is B Christmas day of 2019
Given, the fruit jam is packed on 26/09/2019 which is september 26th.
We know that September has 30 days. So, there are just 5 days left in september from the date of packing.
Then, in october there are 31 days, november has 30 days.
So, number of days starting from 26/09/2019 till november end is 4+31+30 = 65 days

But given that the fruit jam is best before 90 days from the date of packing. So we still need to add 90 - 65 = 25 days in December as well.
So, 90 days from september 26 is december 25.
December 25 is the date of expiry for the jam which is also Christmas day of 2019.
