We keep food in refrigerator to prevent food from going bad due to
- a.viral infection.
- b.fungal infection.
- c.bacterial infection.
- d.both (B) and (C)
Answer: (D) both (B) and (C)
Food spoils mainly through the growth of bacteria and moulds (fungi), and low temperature slows the growth and enzyme activity of both. Viruses do not multiply in food, so (A) is wrong, and choosing only (B) or (C) leaves out the other.
