Answer 2

Answer:

C. Radiation

Explanation:

Conventionally to avoid sprouting in potatoes chemicals called sprout inhibitors are used. However, the use of sprout inhibitors can leave some residues that might not be safe for humans.

The Gamma radiation from the cobalt-60 source can stop the sprouting of the potatoes and extend the shelf life.

The impact of radiation to control the sprouting is variable and may depend on various factors.
