Solution

The correct option is C Carbon dioxide
Yeast is a microscopic fungus used for making bread. It is mixed with the dough, where it grows actively and releases carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide helps in the rising of the dough. When this dough is subjected to high baking temperatures, carbon dioxide escapes from the dough resulting in soft and fluffy bread.
