Yogurt and cheese are produced by involving lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation is a process in which lactose, a sugar present in milk, is converted into lactic acid by bacteria. This process gives yogurt its tangy taste and thick texture. Similarly, in cheese production, lactic acid fermentation is important for curdling the milk and developing the characteristic flavors and textures of different types of cheese. Therefore, the correct answer is B, c.
