The correct option is (b) Fluidized bed evaporators

Explanation: Batch pan is the oldest method which evaporates the milk where the heat transfer per unit volume is small requiring long residence times. Plate-and-frame type evaporators and scraped surface evaporators are commonly used in dairy industry where heat transfer per unit volume is largeand has short residence times.
