The correct option is C rancidity
Rancidity is the spoilage of food such that it becomes undesirable and unfit for consumption. These spoiled food items contain microbes that can affect our body when consumed. Due to spoilage, the food item imparts unpleasant smell and taste. Freezing, heating and smoking are methods of food preservation.
