Solution

The correct option is C Beer
Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air. Malting grains develop the enzymes required to modify the grain's starches into sugars, including the monosaccharide glucose, the disaccharide maltose, the trisaccharide maltotriose and higher sugars called as maltodextrines.
Malted grain is used to make beer, whisky, malted shakes, malt vinegar etc. Various cereals are malted, though barley is the most common. A high-protein form of malted barley is often a label-listed ingredient in blended flours typically used in preparation of beer.
Germinating barley seeds are not used in preparation of cheese, wine and lactic acid.
So, the correct answer is 'Beer'
