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'.
