Solution

The correct option is A Fermentation
Fermentation is an anaerobic process by which glucose is broken down into alcohol, carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas. Yeast is used during baking process. This process is responsible for the increasing the size of maida dough because yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol. Carbon dioxide gas is trapped by gluten proteins which causes dough to rise.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Fermentation.'
