Solution

The correct option is D Preservation
Preservation involves preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microbes and thus prevents food from spoiling. Salting is done by coating it to meat, mangoes, amla, etc. It basically takes out water from these items and prevents the microbial growth. Oil on the other hand blocks the oxygen supply and makes it difficult for the bacteria and other microorganisms to grow and carry out their life processes.
