Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Sun-drying is a traditional fish preservation method that uses solar energy to evaporate moisture from fish, thereby inhibiting microbial growth and spoilage. Salting uses salt to draw out moisture osmotically, smoking uses heat and chemical compounds from smoke, and canning involves sealing fish in airtight containers after heat treatment.
