Solution

The correct option is D coagulation
When you suspend alum in dirty water, slowly mud particles accumulate at the bottom of the vessel. The process is called:Coagulation.

Coagulation happens when milk curdles, as the pH drops and becomes more acidic, the protein (casein and others) molecules attract one another and become "curdles" floating in a solution of translucent whey. This clumping reaction happens more swiftly at warmer temperatures than it does at cold temperatures.
