    C

    Alitame and sucralose

Solution

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is unstable at cooking temperatures because it decomposes upon heating, which limits its use to cold foods and drinks.

Alitame is a high-potency artificial sweetener that is extremely sweet, making it difficult to control the sweetness of food products when used as a sweetening agent.

Answer: Aspartame and alitame

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
