Solution

The correct option is D Salt
Food preservatives are used to prevent food from spoiling. Some examples of food preservatives are salt, sugar, vinegar, oil, etc. These preservatives prevent the spoilage of food caused by many microorganisms and keep the food fit for consumption. Preservatives also help in slowing down the change in taste, flavour or colour of the food.
