Answer 2

The correct option is- (c) To protect it from microorganisms.

• Neem has antimicrobial properties that keep away bacteria, fungi and pests.
• Jagsir's mother added dried neem leaves to the metal vessel filled with wheat because the smell from neem leaves will protect the wheat from microorganisms. It will prevent the attack of pests, insects, fungi on wheat grains. Hence, wheat can be stored for a longer time.
