In the context of decision-making for extracting useful materials from pomace, the option that best represents how a criterion for success is applied is:
B. The criterion of minimizing chemical waste favors the use of high-temperature, high-pressure water.
This option specifically indicates a criterion (minimizing chemical waste) and how it influences the choice of extraction method (high-temperature, high-pressure water), aligning with the goal of optimizing the extraction process while reducing environmental impact.
