Correct choice is (b) Maillard reaction

The best explanation: Maillard reaction is the most common reaction which occurs during the sterilization process. It results in the browning of the medium as well as the nutrient quality is degraded. The other three- Sandmeyer, Cannizzaro, Gattermann- are the types of organic chemical reactions.
