Solution

The correct option is A sodium benzoate
Jams, jellies and squashes are preserved by sugar. Sugar draws out moisture from the microbes and so kills them. Sodium benzoate and sodium metabisulphite are common chemical preservatives which are also generally used to check the growth of microorganisms.
