Answer 1

The outer tissue of unwashed cabbage might contain 1 million to 2 million microorganisms.

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

• Cabbage is a green leafy vegetable used both for cooking and making salads.
• The outer surface of fruits and vegetables contains millions of microorganisms on it.
• Microorganisms are very very tiny organisms and can not be seen with the naked eye.
• Therefore an unwashed and cabbage might contain millions of microorganisms but properly washed and cleaned contain fewer microorganisms.
