Best answer
The correct option is (c) Remove whey

The best explanation: The curds are cut with curd cutter to remove the whey. In order to prepare soft cheese, less amount of whey is removed and for the preparation of harder cheese, more amount of whey is removed. The composition of whey determines the softness and the hardness of a cheese.
