Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The best temperature for storing tomato fruits is 12° - 15°C.
Optimal ripening conditions for tomatoes are between 18°C and 21°C. However, storage is frequently performed at low temperatures (12° - 15°C) to delay ripening, limit post-harvest losses and extend shelf life.
