Solution

The correct option is C Beer
Malted barley is barley that has been allowed to germinate (sprout) to a degree and is then dried. The germination process converts starch, the seed's stored energy, into simpler sugars used in its initial growing stage. The conversion of starch to sugar is accomplished by diastase enzymes that the seed produces during this process. The germination and drying stages capture fermentable sugars, soluble starch, and the diastase enzymes for beer brewing.
