Best answer
Correct option is (b) Removing the husk

For explanation I would say: When the husk from rough paddy rice is removed, it is called as rice. The paddy grains are fed betweentwo abrasive surfaces that move at different speeds where the husks are removed by frictional force. Husk accounts for 20% of the paddy weight.
