Solution

The correct option is B Become less than 6
When milk changes into curd, the pH value will change. Since the pH value of milk is 6 it is acidic in nature. When milk converts into curd due to action of bacteria, lactic acid is formed which is more acidic in nature. Therefore, the pH value of milk reduces as it turns into curd.
