Detailed Solution

Concept: The process of making bread involves baking a mixture of flour, water, salt, yeast, and other components. It is enjoyed widely around the world.
When the dough in the oven reaches a temperature of 40°C, the alcohol produced during fermentation evaporates, yeast activity increases and the rate of fermentation increases, and the residual carbon dioxide quickly rises and enters the gas bubbles. Up until a temperature of about 46°C, the rate of fermentation increases with temperature but then stops as the yeasts perish. The bread becomes soft and fluffy throughout the fermentation process, which releases carbon dioxide. The bread is baked continuously until it is finished.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
