Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The canning process itself consists of several stages: cleaning and further preparing the raw food material; blanching it; filling the containers, usually under a vacuum; closing and sealing the containers; sterilizing the canned products; and labeling and warehousing the finished goods.

Detailed explanation-2: -And to be clear, just in case you’re thinking of tilting your jars to lay them on their sides in the canner, or after, on the towel to cool, don’t do that either. Place the jar upright in canner… it is essential that jars remain upright throughout the heat processing time.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Only use two layers of cans for safety Doing this will help retain the jars’ vacuum seal and when you stack jars too high or stack them directly on top of each other without a barrier material in between the layers, you run the risk of damaging the seal, which can lead to spoilage.
