Solution

The correct option is B False
Refrigeration helps to keep vegetables, fruits, meat, and milk products in fresh condition for over a week.
Refrigeration: It is a method of preserving food where food items are stored in cold conditions.
At such low temperatures, the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and moulds is inhibited.
Due to this, food items do not get spoilt and can be stored for a week and in some cases even a bit longer.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
