Correct Answer:
C. Coring
The correct answer is Coring. Coring is the process of removing the inedible central part (the core) of certain fruits, such as apples, pears, and pineapples. This central part often contains seeds and is tough or fibrous, so it is typically discarded before consumption. Among the options:
- Peeling: Removing the outer skin of fruits or vegetables.
- Slicing: Cutting into thin, flat pieces.
- Coring: Correct; it specifically refers to removing the central core.
- Pitting: Removing the single hard stone or pit from fruits like mangoes or cherries.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Coring".
