Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

“Petha” falls under the category of product Candy.
It is a translucent soft candy from the Indian subcontinent made from ash gourd or white pumpkin or simply petha in Hindi.
The gourd is sliced into bite-sized pieces and then cured for a few hours in a solution of lime. They boil the gourd pieces until they are soft after removing them from the lime solution and then they soak them in a flavorful syrup. The final candy has a sugar-crisp exterior and an almost moist, sticky interior with a chewy, crystalline texture.
