Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+H_2O\underset{Invertase}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{Yeast}}},\underset{\text{(Glucose)}}{\mathop{C_6H_{12}O_6}},+\underset{(Fructose)}{\mathop{C_6H_{12}O_6}}, $ $ C_6H_{12}O_6\underset{Zymase}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{Yeast}}},\underset{\text{(Ethyl alcohol)}}{\mathop{2C_2H_5OH}},+2CO_2 $
