Solution

The correct option is B

Fermentation


To answer this question correctly, the student must understand that yeast converts the sugars present in the raw material for wine and bread preparation to acids and carbon dioxide. Thus, the process of fermentation is responsible for the tangy taste in alcoholic beverages and the spongy appearance of breads.
