Answer:

d. Water, sugar , salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar in jams helps by drawing water from its surroundings, any microbe that tends to be arround then becomes dehydrated as water will be drawn through the cell wall making it difficult for them to grow and cause death. Salt also works in this same manner of sucking up water. This process used by salt and water is known as OSMOSIS.
