Answer: D - Whirlpool Freeze-dried ice cream is ice cream that has been freeze-dried to remove the majority of the water, sealed in a pouch, and does not require refrigeration. It is also known as astronaut ice cream. It was developed by Whirlpool Corporation under contract to NASA for the Apollo missions.
