Solution

The correct option is A tartaric acid
Baking powder contains Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate NaHCO3, and tartaric acid. It is used for increasing the volume and lightening the texture of baked goods. It releases carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causes bubbles in the wet mixture which expands and thereby leavening the mixture.
