Solution

The correct option is B carbon dioxide
For bread to become soft and fluffy, the dough must undergo fermentation. When the bread dough ferments, some amount of carbon dioxide is released due to the action of yeast on the sugars; this creates a lot of gas bubbles in the dough. When baked, these gas bubbles appear as holes in the bread and make the bread fluffy and light.
