Solution

The correct option is A Process of loosening of grain from chaff
Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of cereal grain (or another crop) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it.
It is the step in grain preparation after harvesting and before winnowing, which separates the loosened chaff from the grain.
Threshing does not remove the bran from the grain.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
