Solution

The correct option is C Diminishing quality of food by mixing cheap materials.
Adulteration usually refers to mixing other matter of an inferior and sometimes harmful quality with food products and drinks, which are intended to be sold. The adulteration of food yields greater profit to the sellers at the cost of health of consumers.
