B
leave uncovered, and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, rice is cooked using a 2:1 ratio of water to rice; that ratio can vary depending on the type of rice. Using this method, the water cooks down completely as it’s absorbed by the rice, which generally takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Turn down the heat and set the timer: Once the rice comes to a boil, set a timer for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, or as low as it can go while still maintaining a very gentle simmer (look for wisps of steam around the lid).
