Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
  • Boiling increases the temperature of milk and kills many bacteria and thus increases the shelf life of milk when compared to raw milk.
  • Refrigeration lowers the temperatures of the growth medium ( milk) making it not suitable for bacterial growth and keeps milk fresh for a particular period of time.
  • Pasteurization is heating milk to high temperatures and cooling down quickly. This process kills many possible pathogens and increases the shelf life of milk to a better extent. (1 day to 2 days)
  • So the correct answer is 'Boiling, Refrigerating, and Pasteurizing'.
