Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The passage mentions sugar - cane being used in religious ceremonies (as an ingredient in fire - involving ceremonies to worship Durga), its transformation being seen as magical, and its name 'ikshu' meaning something people want. These details suggest its special significance. The options about the three - cornered fire pot, crystallization, and the name 'sharkara' do not directly relate to its special significance.
# Answer:
"sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies involving fire", "Perhaps that transformation itself seemed magical", "sugar cane is called ikshu, which means 'something that people want'"
