Solution
The correct option is B fermentation
Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria. Dough used to make bread heavily relies on fermentation, Baker's yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to leaven breads or to raise them and give them the soft and spongy texture. Yeast releases CO2 as a byproduct of aerobic respiration and this gas causes the dough to double in size over time to get it ready for baking. The dough kept overnight in warm weather initiates fermentation by yeast which inturn makes the dough soft and fluffy.
