Solution

The correct option is D Water
$∙$ Vinegar and oil are used for the preservation of food as they inhibit growth of microbes.
$∙$ Common salt can also prevent microbial growth and be used as a preservative.
$∙$ We should never use water in pickling as water can aid growth of microbes, which can result in the spoilage of the food item.
