Best answer
The correct option is (b) LDPE

The best explanation: LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) is used as a primary package in bread. The LDPE bag is sealed with PS tag. Vacuum packaging is not sustainable as crushing could take place. Gas mixture in the packaging usually ranges from 100% CO2 to 50:50 CO2:N2.
