Solution

The correct option is C Both statements are wrong.
Setts are pieces of sugarcane cut into lengths of about 40 centimetres each to be used for planting. Sugarcane dries with time, within sixteen hours of harvest in fact. The drier the cane, the lower the quantity of sucrose that can be obtained from it.
