Correct choice is (c) Oxygen Transmission Rate

The explanation: The term OTR related to packaging films stands for oxygen transmission rate. It is the rate by which oxygen permeates through a plastic film. The plastic films having a greater oxygen transmission rate are a poor barrier against gases, especially oxygen.
