Solution
The correct option is B Fermentation
Fermentation can be described as an enzyme-catalyzed process in which one substrate is usually broken down by the enzymes produced by bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms. Fermentation of glucose results in the formation of ethanol and carbon monoxide. This is an exothermic reaction and results in the release of energy. The changes observed in dough after keeping it overnight in warm weather is an example of fermentation.
