Solution

The correct option is A Raw meat is easier to preserve for longer periods.
Raw meat is easier to preserve. Eskimos dip the meat into whale or seal oils to preserve meat for longer durations. As they live in Tundra conditions where they have a scarcity of wood and other resources, cooking and baking food is seldom done. Hence the diet is mostly raw.
