Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we known that density is the amount of mass divided by volume of the substance.

Mathematically, Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

So, when candy was present in the shape of a cloud then it means that it was fluffy as it has more volume.

Since, density is inversely proportional to volume therefore, with increase in volume there will occur a decrease in density.

But when the candy will become compact then there will occur a decrease in its volume. Hence, then there will occur an increase in the density of the candy.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement candy before was fluffy, and the candy after was compacted best describes the candy before and after Chanel manipulated it.
