Solution
The correct option is A Endosmosis Water is required for the chemical reactions to be carried out inside the cell. When the vegetables are cut from the plant, there is a loss of water and they dehydrate. The water is sprinkled on the vegetables to provide them moisture which is absorbed due to endosmosis. The water moves inside the cell and allows the vegetables to remain fresh for a long time. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
