D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -PAPER BAG METHOD All you need to ripen fruit is a paper bag. Yes, really! Simply place the unripe fruit in a paper bag and it will trap the ethylene gas, causing the fruit to ripen quicker! Place a ripe banana or apple in the bag with the unripe fruit to speed the process up even more!

Detailed explanation-2: -The fruit reabsorbs the gas, causing it to ripen even more quickly than it would have if it was just sitting out on the counter. You can even try adding an apple in the brown paper bag: Apples release a lot of ethylene gas and will help get those avocados, pears, nectarines, or bananas ripe and ready to eat in no time!

Detailed explanation-3: -The Paper Bag Method Great for avocados, mangos, pears, plums and tomatoes! This classic method is quite simple. Just add your fruit into a paper bag, seal it, and wait a few days! The key here is ethylene.

Detailed explanation-4: -Brown Paper Bags Placing unripe fruit into a brown paper bag and closing it actually does help the fruit to ripen faster. As the fruit ripens, a hormone known as ethylene is produced and emitted as a gas. The bag traps the ethylene around the fruit while still allowing air to reach it.
