Solution

The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation for assertion

Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces Cerivisiae) is added to flour during kneading. Yeast secreted enzymes like amylase (changes some starch to maltase), maltose (maltose to glucose) and zymase (glucose to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide). The dough swells up or leavens. Leavened dough is baked and both alcohol and carbon dioxide evaporate. The bread becomes soft and porous.
