The process of conversion of sugar into alchohol is called
A
Fragmentation
B
Alchohalisation
C
Glucosisation
D
Fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation is the natural process in which sugars are converted to alcohol by yeast. Carbon dioxide is also released in this reaction as a byproduct. This process is used in distilleries (alcohol industries) for the production of wine, beer and spirits.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation is the process that is carried by the anaerobic respiration of microorganisms which leads to the production of lactic acid or alcohol with the release of carbon dioxide. Yeasts can convert sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide by fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation is a process in which sugars are transformed into a new product through chemical reactions carried out by microorganisms. Since ancient times, humans have taken advantage of the natural fermentation process to develop many products, including foods, medicines, and fuels.
