$Option C.$ $"Option C."$

Explanation:

Clearly, $C$ $"C"$ is the only viable option. Mass LOSS occurs when something is dehydrated. Why? Because the water is evaporated. You can clearly see this when you reconstitute dried fruit by soaking sultanas/raisins or dried apricots/apples in water.

Dehydration preserves a glut of fruit, which is all too liable to occur after a harvest. Of course you can make wine out of the grapes (and the fruit too!) as well.
