Answer 1

The correct option is C Spices or other flavouring substances with a sharp taste usually added to food for cooking.

A condiment is a spice, sauce or other food preparation that is added to foods to impart a particular flavor, enhance its flavor, or in some cultures, to complement the dish. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time.
Many condiments are available packaged in single-serving packet (container)s, like mustard or ketchup, particularly when supplied with take-out or fast-food meals.

Some condiments are used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, marmite are examples.
