Best answer

Correct option (a) Lactic Acid Bacillus

Explanation:

The lactic acid curdles the milk that then separates to form curds, which are used to produce cheese and whey. 

Acidification of milk means lowering its pH. It causes the milk proteins to unwind and unfold in a process known as protein denaturing. Lactic Acid does the process in case of milk.
