What is fermentation?
A process of chemical change in food or drink because of the action of yeast which may cause it to produce bubbles or heat, or turn sugars in it into alcohol.
Equation -:
[tex] \small\sf{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} \rightarrow2C_{2}H_{5}OH + 2CO_{2}} [/tex]
Which means
Glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
- Hence opition c is the correct answer.
