Best answer
Right choice is (b) True, Fruits

The explanation is: High temperatures may affect proteins to a large extent. Carbohydrate loss is the maximum in fruits and may lead to browning or caramelization. This is because fruits are a rich source of carbohydrates and any damage to fruits is directly/indirectly a loss to carbohydrates.
