Solution

The correct option is D 5 to 8
Vinegar is a preservative used in pickles. Vinegar is sour because it's an aqueous solution of acetic acid produced from ethanol fermentation.
Vinegar is made either by slow fermentation or fast fermentation process. Longer fermentation periods are widely used as it helps in the collection of non-toxic part of acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid is present in 5 to 8 percent by volume.
Hence, option B is correct.
