Solution

The correct option is B increase
Food items get spoilt mainly because of the moisture content present in them, which promotes the growth of germs, fungus, etc.
Drying is a method that removes water from food items. Drying fruits like cherries and grapes under the sun remove the moisture content on them. This prevents the growth of germs, thus preventing the spoilage of food items.
