Solution
The correct option is B Fermentation Fermentation is the process by which microorganisms convert carbohydrates into alcohols or other organic acids. This converts the existing raw material into a different food item and also enhances the taste and the flavor. The by-product of fermentation process is the production of gases like carbon dioxide that add a lot of volume to batters and doughs.
