• B. Sugarcane is light in weight
• C. Sugar mills require lots of power
• D. The finished products are very bulky

The correct option is A Sugarcane loses sucrose content if much time is lost between harvesting and processing

Sugar mills have to be located near the sugarcane fields because sugarcane contains sucrose and once you cut the sugarcane, the sucrose content starts to decline. Hence raw material must be quickly transported.
