Best answer
Correct choice is (b) Filter aid, yes

Explanation: Cellulose was added in the pulping of certain fruit juices as a filter aid. Since in this case, the filtrate is the desired product, the decision is right as the cellulose stays inside the filter cake after the process is over and doesn’t affect the filtrate.
