D
The bran is removed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

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: -The bran and germ, which contain the majority of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, are removed by sifting.

Detailed explanation-4: -While refining, that is, removal of the bran and the germ, reduces the nutrient content of grain, milling of grains otherwise concentrates desirable grain components and removes poorly digested compounds and contaminants. Cooking of grains generally increases digestibility of nutrients and phytochemicals.
