Solution

The correct option is D It is free from microbes
Pasteurization is a method to preserve milk, in which the milk is heated to about 700C for 15 to 30 seconds and then suddenly chilled and stored. By doing so, it prevents the growth of microbes. This process was discovered by Louis Pasteur.
As pasteurized milk is devoid of microbes it can be consumed directly.
