Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Paneer is a type of fresh cheese made by acid coagulation of hot milk and subsequent drainage of the whey. It is a common dairy product in Indian cuisine.
- Curds: Incorrect! Curds are made by the fermentation of milk using bacteria and do not require hot milk or acid for coagulation.
- Rasogolla: Incorrect! Rasogolla is made by boiling balls of chhena (freshly made paneer) in a sugary syrup, not by acid coagulation of milk.
- Sandesh: Incorrect! Sandesh is made from chhena (a form of paneer) mixed with sugar and other ingredients, and is not produced by acid coagulation of hot milk.
