Solution

The correct option is C

Starch


Adulteration of milk reduces the quality of milk and can even make it hazardous for consumption. Adulterants that are commonly used in milk are water, soap, acid, starch, table sugar and chemicals like formalin. Most of the chemicals used as adulterants are poisonous and cause health hazards if consumed.
