Answer: Apples

Explanation:

The technique of fruit waxing provides fruits like apples with cleanliness and freshness. It is a process through which fruits are coated with artificial wax or natural edible wax. Fruit waxing leaves a thin coat of shiny layer at the surface of it or act as a replacement for those fruits which produces natural wax by themselves.

Apples are covered with artificial wax.This helps in retaining the moisture in the fruits helps in preserving flavor and texture as well as prevent physical damage, prevent bruising and delay browning of fruits.  The wax coated fruits works act as an preventive tool against water vapor and environmental gases leading to a slow process of ripening

Some fruits have natural protective layer of wax which gets easily worn out  at the time of plucking from the tree and also at the time of packing and transportation. Here artificial waxing  plays an important role as it gives the fruit a fresh look till it reaches the consumer.
