A
All the bran and germ are removed
B
There is more fat added
C
There is more nutrients like vitamins and minerals added
D
There is less cooking time needed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -White our and white rice are rened grains, for instance, because both have had their bran and germ removed, leaving only the endosperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -When grains are refined to make white flour, the germ and bran portions are removed, leaving only the endosperm. As you’ve probably guessed, this process also removes the most nutrient-dense portions of the grain. Refined products are often “enriched, ” meaning that key nutrients, such as the B vitamins, are added back.

Detailed explanation-3: -Refined cereals include cake, desserts, white bread, pasta, muffins, sweet or savoury biscuits, refined grain breakfast cereals, white rice, pancakes, waffles and pizza.

Detailed explanation-4: -Refined grains. Refined grains have the germ and bran removed. These grains have a finer texture and a longer food storage life. This process takes out nearly all of the fiber and many other nutrients. Food with refined grains include white rice and most white breads, pastries, cakes, and crackers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Milling strips away the bran and germ and leaves only the soft, easy-to-digest endosperm. Without the fibrous bran, the grain is easier to chew. The germ is removed because of its fat content, which can limit the shelf life of processed wheat products.
