What is the main work of a cook in Indian cuisine?

Correct answer: Preparing food

A cook is a skilled worker whose central responsibility is to prepare food. This work can include selecting or receiving ingredients, measuring them, using suitable cooking methods, maintaining cleanliness, and presenting food safely and attractively. In Indian cuisine, the cook may prepare many kinds of dishes, but all these activities belong to food preparation rather than to construction, road work, or textile production.

Option B is therefore correct because it directly names the cook’s main occupational task: preparing food. Weaving cloth is associated with a weaver, making bricks with a brickmaker or construction worker, and cleaning roads with a sanitation worker. The question asks for the main work, so the broad description “preparing food” is the most suitable answer.
