Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Noble rot, often referred by the more appealing Latin term Botrytis cinerea (boh-TRI-tis sihn-EAR-ee-uh), is produced from a so-called friendly fungus that grows on certain grapes, given the appropriate climatic conditions. It causes the grape skins to break, allowing the juice and pulp to become affected by the mold, and then extracts the water content by about one-third. This allows the remaining juice to concentrate into luscious, syrupy nectar consistency, maintaining natural acidity while imparting new flavors of honey and apricot with higher sugar content. The ideal environment for the fungus is cool evenings and moist, foggy mornings, followed by sunny days. If the climate lacks the sun, the mold will turn into the undesirable gray rot. If the climate is too warm or lacks moisture, the Botrytis will never develop.
