    is:
    A Sodium/Calcium propionate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Sodium chloride Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Calcium carbonate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sodium or calcium propionate is commonly used as a mold inhibitor in bread. Propionates prevent the growth of mold and some bacteria, extending the shelf life of baked goods. Sodium chloride (salt) is a preservative but not specifically a mold inhibitor, while calcium carbonate is used as a fortifying agent or acidity regulator.
