Solution

The correct option is A 8-41 $^{0}$ C
The organisms contaminate the food crops while storage. This results in the decrease in the yield of the crops. The temperature is one of the factors which can be controlled for the growth of insects and microbes. The insects can live at temperatures from 8 to 41°C and when the temperature is maintained higher or lower than this range, the insects cannot survive.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
