Correct answer: A. Downstream processing
- A. Downstream processing
- B. Bioprocessing
- C. Post-production processing
- D. Upstream processing.
Explanation
After the formation of the product in the bioreactor, it undergoes some processes before a finished product is ready for marketing. The process includes separation and purification of products which is collectively called downstream processing.
