Answer 1

D) The acidic tomato juice reacted unfavorably with the aluminum pan.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (D) is the correct order.

Explanation:

Tomato is an acidic food. When it is cooked or stored in an aluminium utensil then the acid reacts with aluminium. As a result, the metal leaches into the food and it can produce harmful or toxic substance which can cause harm to human body.

When metal leaches into the food the pan also gets damaged or discolored.

Thus, we can conclude that the acidic tomato juice reacted with the pan.
