Answer 1

D) Both chefs are correct.

Both chefs present valid options for balancing harsh flavors in a tomato sauce. Basil can add a sweet, aromatic flavor that complements tomatoes well, and mushrooms can add umami depth. Carrots contribute natural sweetness, and onions provide a savory balance. Thus, each chef's suggestion can help improve the sauce in different ways.
