Solution

The correct option is B Louis Pasteur
Fermentation is a metabolic process that takes place in the absence of oxygen and breaks molecules like carbohydrates into alcohol or acid.

Fermentation is an anaerobic process where, even though oxygen is not available, energy can be released from glucose. Fermentation occurs in yeast cells and bacteria and also in the muscles of animals. It is an anaerobic pathway in which glucose is broken down.

In 1857, Louis Pasteur first demonstrated the process of fermentation
