Best answer
Right option is (a) Aluminium+ polyethylene

For explanation: Aluminium foil + polyethylene is widely used for retail packs. Whole milk powder requires vacuum or gas packing to prevent oxidation of fat. Vacuum packaging in oxygen impermeable flexible film laminates is better than tin containers with inert gas for whole milk powder in terms of shelf life and quality.
