Best answer
Correct option is (c) Sudan Dye

Best explanation: For plastics, Grease resistance can be performed directly in pouches using groundnut oil colored with Sudan dye. Grease resistance is conducted to measure the resistance of a plastic towards grease, by exposing it to grease containing dye and measuring the time it takes to show at the unexposed side.
