Solution
The correct option is A Lactic acid
Lactobacilli promote the formation of curd from milk. When a small amount of curd is added to warm milk, the lactobacilli start growing in the milk and use lactose, the milk sugar. As an end product, lactic acid is produced which makes the milk thicker and finally converts it into curd.
