Best answer
The correct choice is (c) Cyclodextrin

The best explanation: Cyclodextrin is a common example of an odor absorber. Undesirable flavor scalping by the packaging material can result in the loss of desirable food flavors, while foods can pick up undesirable odors or flavors from the package or the surrounding environment.  Cyclodextrin is grafted to a PE layer to absorb accumulated odor from food decomposition.
