Best answer
Right answer is (c) Sucralose

Best explanation: Sucralose is not a preservative. It is an artificial sweetener that is used for diabetic patients and is non-caloric. Sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, formic acid, etc. are examples of preservatives used for the preservation of soft drinks, pickles, sauerkraut, etc.
