    D) hypertonic environment

    Explanation:

    A hypertonic environment consists of a solution in which amount of solute outside the cell is more than the amount inside the cell. When the concentration of solutes is greater on the outside of a cell, water would move from inside the cell to outside of the cell, where the concentration is lower, hence causing shrinking of the cell.

    Salt and sugar create a hypertonic environment in foods, thereby making the cells of food spoilage organisms to shrink and unable to thrive in the environment.
