The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Indian dairy products are broadly categorized based on their manufacturing method into heat-desiccated, fermented, acid-coagulated, or fat-rich products.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

- Analysis of Statement (I): Kalakand and Milk Cake are made by the evaporation (desiccation) of milk to which a small amount of citric acid is added to give a grainy texture. Sorbhaja is a traditional Bengali sweet made by frying and layering the cream (malai) collected from boiling milk. These are all primarily formed through high-heat application and desiccation. Thus, Statement (I) is correct.
- Analysis of Statement (II): Shrikhand is made from "Chakka," which is curd (fermented milk) after draining the whey. Lassi is a beverage made by whisking curd with water and sugar. Kalari is a traditional ripened/fermented cheese from Jammu and Kashmir made using a specific microbial culture or self-acidification. Since all these rely on the metabolic action of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), they are fermented products. Thus, Statement (II) is correct.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
