Solution

The correct options are
B Nitrogen
C rancidity
When food containing oil or fat is exposed to air, the oil and fat in them get oxidised, because of which the food become rancid. This process is called rancidity.

Inorder to prevent rancidity, packets of chips are flushed with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is an anti-oxidant, which prevents oxidation of fat and oil molecules.
