    A 5°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20°C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Potatoes stored below 10°C undergo cold-induced sweetening, where starch converts to sugars (glucose and fructose). This is undesirable for processing (e.g., frying), as sugars cause excessive browning. At 10°C, sugar accumulation is minimized while preventing spoilage.
