When you cook food it increases the digestibility because you are killing bacteria they may be on the cooked food. Cooking has the option to enhance the appearance of food in some cases but not all.

Answer should be that it "Improves digestibility."
If there are multiple answers then it can enhance the appearance, improve digestibility, and enhance the taste.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When dietary fiber is broken down then it divides into smaller pieces and therefore, it becomes easier for gastric acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach to digest the food.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options the benefit of cooking food to break down dietary fiber is that it helps in improving digestibility.
