Bananas can be prevented from overripening by
option : (d) storing in a freezer
because of the following reason
* During ripening process, plants produce ethylene gas.
* Cold temperature will show down the reaction and hence delay the ripening of banana .
* To prevent overripening of bananas, the chemical reaction of ripening process needs to slow down.

Bananas can be prevented from over-ripening by storing in a freezer.
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
- Plants release ethylene gas during ripening process.
- To stop the over-ripening of bananas, the chemical reaction of ripening process needs to be slow down.
- The reaction will be slowed down only by decreasing the temperature.
- Hence it will delay the ripening of banana.
- However, storing in freezer will slow down the ethylene emission more than refrigerating it.
Thus, Bananas can be prevented from over-ripening by storing in a freezer.
