B Correct answer
Explanation

Fresh potatoes should NOT be stored in the refrigerator. Cold temperatures convert potato starch to sugar, causing off-flavors and excessive browning when cooked. Best storage is in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place (45-50°F) away from light, which prevents greening and sprouting. Refrigeration ruins both taste and cooking quality.
