Solution

The correct option is A True
True.
Cheese is made by fermenting the milk. But here instead of bacteria, acid and salt are used for fermentation. When these ingredients are added to boiling milk, it coagulates separating the milk solids and a watery liquid. The watery liquid part is called whey. Coagulated solids are used for making cheese.
