Answer 1

The correct option is C Bleeding

Toddy refers to fermented palm wine. It is prepared by fermentation of sap obtained from palm trees. The process of obtaining sap from trees is through the bleeding of plants. The sap is extracted and collected by a tapper. Typically the sap is collected from the cut flower of the palm tree. A container is fastened to the flower stump to collect the sap. The white liquid, that is initially collected tends to be very sweet and non-alcoholic before it is fermented.
So the correct answer is option C.
