The closes answers are B and C.
But the best is B. Fermentation is a process that uses substances such as bacteria or yeast to change the sugars of fruits or grains into alcohol.

Fermentation is simply the conversion of sugars into alcohol using microorganisms.
Option A refers to fermentation as a rate (how quickly) which is inaccurate. Option C is somewhat accurate because it only mentions about bacteria and it includes the process of extracting sugar. Option D does not talk about any transformation from sugar to alcohol.
