When cooking pasta, you should:
A
cover the pot
B
leave the pot uncovered with water boiling until al dente
C
turn thre water down to a simmer
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leaving the pot uncovered is also key because pasta should be stirred frequently to prevent sticking. Plus, because pasta should be cooked until al dente, a lid will make it hard to decipher how far along you are in the process, and might even lead to mushy noodles, which is the last thing you want.

Detailed explanation-2: -Should you cover the pasta when cooking it? It’s okay to put a lid on the pot while you are waiting for the water to boil. However, after it starts to boil and you add the pasta to the water, you should remove the lid to prevent the water from bubbling over.

Detailed explanation-3: -Give your pasta plenty of room to cook – so you want a large pan. Cover your pan with a lid to help bring the water up to the boil more quickly, then remove the lid once the water is boiling or reduce the temperature slightly to stop it bubbling over.

Detailed explanation-4: -The common rule to achieve perfectly al dente pasta is to drain the pasta 2-3 minutes before the suggested cooking time on the packaging. However, different quality of pasta gives different results, even after following this rule.
