A)
Apricot
B)
Kiwi fruit
C)
Dragon fruit
D)
Passion fruit

Correct Answer :   Dragon fruit

Chinese authorities have locked down several supermarkets after Coronavirus traces were found in the dragon fruits imported from Vietnam. According to media reports, at least nine cities in China’s Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces have found Coronavirus samples in dragon fruit imported from Vietnam. Further, the authorities have even started emergency screening of imported food products and ordered fruit buyers to quarantine themselves even though there is no scientific evidence of COVID-19 spreading from food.
 
However, Chinese health authorities are practising caution as the country continues to tackle the fresh wave of COVID-19. Chinese state media Global Times reported on Tuesday that Zhejiang province enhanced its COVID-19 prevention measures targeting the imported fruits following the detection of Coronavirus in the outer packaging of imported dragon fruit from Vietnam through nucleic acid tests.
