b. broiling is used to cook tough cuts of meat, while braising is used to cook tender meats.
c. broiling is a moist heat cooking method, while braising is a dry heat cooking method.
d. broiling is a dry heat cooking method, while braising is mostly a moist heat cooking method

Explanation:

• Broiling: It is a dry - heat cooking method. Food is placed close to a direct heat source (like a broiler in an oven) and cooks quickly from the heat radiating onto it. There is no added liquid for cooking.
• Braising: First, the food (often tougher cuts of meat) is seared (a dry - heat step) to brown it. Then, it is cooked slowly in a small amount of liquid (moist - heat component) in a covered vessel. So, it is mostly a moist - heat cooking method as the long - term cooking is with liquid.

Answer:

D. Broiling is a dry heat cooking method, while braising is mostly a moist heat cooking method.
