(a) Raw potato (b) Cooked rice
(c) Slice of a fruit (d) Groundnut

Answer 1

Answer:

So, the correct option is 'a slice of a fruit'.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cutting also raises the respiration rate, which results in sugars inside produce being broken down and carbon dioxide released.

This can result in faster spoilage as well as a change in the taste and texture of the produce. Lower temperatures help slow respiration, so pre-cut produce should be kept refrigerated.

The three factors that lead to nutrient loss are heat, oxygen, and light. Hence, a slice of a fruit is the food items which will not provide energy after it is consumed.

So, the correct option is 'a slice of a fruit'.
