Solution

The correct option is B moisture content
The amount of moisture or water content present in the food decides how long it can be stored. Grains are really dry and hence can be stored for a long time. Fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, contain a lot of water and hence need to be sold immediately. They would get spoilt if stored for a long time.
