Question

Fish can be preserved for longer period of time by adding:

• A. Sugar
• B. Salt
• C. Drying in sunlight
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both B and C

Fish can be preserved by different methods. Salting is one of the oldest methods which is used for preserving fish for a long time. The fish are soaked in salt or brine water. Fish can be dried in sunlight to remove the moisture. The presence of salt and no moisture prevents bacterial contamination. This is how fish do not get degraded easily and are preserved for a longer period of time.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
