The Erlenmeyer flask’s narrow mouth makes it easier to pour the solution.
C
The Erlenmeyer flask’s narrow mouth can support the funnel and prevent breakage.
D
The Erlenmeyer flask is the only glassware that will accommodate a filter funnel.
Explanation
An Erlenmeyer flask has a narrow mouth that helps hold a filter funnel steady while the cabbage solution is poured through it. This reduces the chance that the funnel will slip or break. The flask is not the only container that can hold liquid or accommodate a funnel, so C is the best reason.
