By plotting the C/t values obtained from a thermal death time curve, a curve is obtained. How is the lethal value obtained from this curve?

(a) Area under the curve

(b) The center point on the x-axis with respect to beginning and end of curve and then extends to the curve

(c) The center point on the x-axis with respect to beginning and end of curve and then extends to the curve

(d) None of the mentioned

This question was addressed to me in final exam.

My question is from Principles of Food Preservation by Canning-4 in chapter Principles of Food Preservation by Canning and Drying and Principles of Food Concentrates of Food Engineering
