  • A. Upto 7 days
  • B. Upto 14 days
  • C. Upto 21 days

Explanation

At about 20°C, modified-atmosphere storage combined with potassium permanganate removes ethylene and slows banana ripening, extending shelf life to approximately 21 days. Without these treatments, bananas ripen much sooner at this temperature.
