Solution
The given sentence is wrong.
Explanation:
When edible oil is left exposed for a long time, it undergoes oxidation and becomes rancid, not sour. The term “sour” typically refers to acidic spoilage (like in milk), whereas “rancidity” specifically describes the foul smell and taste caused by the chemical breakdown of fats and oils.
