Solution

The correct option is B Lactic acid
Soured milk is a food product produced from acidification of milk. Sour milk is curdled or coagulated by natural souring or by the addition of lactic acid bacteria such as traditional curd cheese or cottage cheese. The milk proteins of sour milk are partially curdled due to acidic environment so they are readily digestable.
