Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. At the consumer and retail level (households, restaurants, and supermarkets).

Explanation: While "food loss" happens on farms, "food waste" occurs at the end of the chain. In cities, buying too much, confusing "use-by" dates, and large restaurant portions are the biggest culprits.
