Solution

The correct option is B nutrients will be lost
Some nutrients in fruits and vegetables like certain vitamins are soluble in water. Washing fruits and vegetables after they have been cut removes a lot of the nutrients inside as they get dissolved in the water used to clean them. Some vitamins and minerals also get degraded when it is over cooked.
