Solution

The correct option is C Presence of insects.
Storage losses is a very common problem faced in agricultural produce. A number of biotic and abiotic factors are responsible for it. Decolouration of the grains is due to the inappropriate temperature, the moisture of the place and presence of insects in the storage room.
Fumigation is a preventive method used to control storage losses. It can also be controlled by strict cleaning of the produce before storage, proper drying of the product first in sunlight and then in shade.
