Boiling water bath canning
Pressure canning
Steam canning
Oven method canning
The correct answer is B.
Foods that are low acid (pH of 4.6 or higher) include vegetables, meats, dried beans, and all soups. These will need to be preserved using a pressure canner. Low-acids foods need to be heated to temperatures higher than 212°F to destroy C. botulinum spores. Pressure canners can heat foods to a temperature of up to 240°F. High-acid foods have a pH level of 4.6 or lower and create an acid medium in which C. botulinum spores will not survive. These foods will need to be preserved using a water bath canner.
