Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Pasteurized milk production involves a sequence of operations to ensure safety, quality, and uniform composition.

Step 1: Initial handling.
Milk first undergoes:
• Grading and dumping (C) This ensures only good quality milk enters processing.

Step 2: Clarification.
Milk is clarified (D) to:
• Remove dirt and impurities

Step 3: Standardization.
Milk composition is adjusted (E) to desired fat content.

Step 4: Heat treatment.
Heating (A) is done to:
• Destroy pathogens

Step 5: Cooling.
Rapid cooling (B) is done to:
• Prevent microbial growth

Step 6: Final sequence. \[ C \rightarrow D \rightarrow E \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \] Final Conclusion:
Option (3) is correct.
