Solution
The correct option is B Ethanol
Yeast converts sugar present in flour into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. CO2 gas is trapped by gluten proteins in the flour which causes the dough to rise. Fermentation results in a light and airy crumb in bread products.
So, the correct answer is 'Ethanol'.
