Verified by Toppr

Food can be kept for longer duration and unspoiled at low temperature than in ordinary temperature because bacterial multiplication is greatly reduced. At room temperature, bacteria grow rapidly. When food is stored at cold temperature, bacteria enter a dormant stage. Also, the water content of the food freezes in cold storage. This prevents bacteria from multiplying and food spoiling.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Low temperature.'
