Baking : Bread :: ? : Curd

To find the related word for "Curd" in the same way that "Bread" is related to "Baking," we need to understand the relationship between the two given words.

Baking is a process or method used to prepare bread. In other words, baking is the action that results in the creation of bread. So, "Bread" is the product or outcome of "Baking."

Similarly, we need to find the process or action that results in the creation of "Curd."

Now let's analyze the options given:

a) Brewing: Brewing is a process used to prepare beverages like beer or tea. It does not result in the creation of curd, so it is not the correct answer.

b) Coagulation: Coagulation is the process by which a liquid changes into a solid or semi-solid state, usually through the formation of clumps or lumps. In the context of curd, coagulation refers to the process of milk transforming into curd through the action of bacteria or enzymes. This is the correct answer.

c) Fermentation: Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar into alcohol or acid, usually with the help of yeast or bacteria. While fermentation is involved in the production of curd, it is not the direct process responsible for the transformation of milk into curd. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.

d) Boiling: Boiling is a method of cooking in which a liquid reaches its boiling point and turns into vapor. Although boiling is often used in various cooking processes, it does not result in the creation of curd. So, it is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b) Coagulation, as it represents the process through which milk transforms into curd, just as "Baking" represents the process through which bread is created.
