Solution
The correct option is C Gas pressure will develop because of excessive CO2 Fermentation is incomplete oxidation of food substances into alcohol or lactic acid with CO2 gas and a small amount of energy being released. Both lactic acid and ethanol fermentation do not produce oxygen. Hence, fermentation in a closed vessel will develop higher gas pressure due to excessive CO2.
