Question

Grains stored in a jute sack are resistant to decay due to atmospheric moisture.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Rice is hygroscopic in nature because they have a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. When rice come in contact with water they begin to rot. When rice isn't handled or stored properly they can develop bacteria or mould on their surface and produce bad odour resulting in food poisoning when consumed.
