Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Examine the logical sequence of coffee preparation, from bean to cup.1. (B) Roasting: The initial key stage. Green coffee beans are heated to bring out their distinctive aroma and taste.
2. (D) Blending: Post-roasting, beans are often combined from various sources or roasts to achieve a harmonious and stable flavor. (While blending can precede roasting, it commonly follows in specialty coffee production).
3. (C) Grinding: The roasted and blended beans are ground to increase surface area for extraction, ideally just before brewing for maximum freshness.
4. (A) Brewing: The final step involves using hot water to extract soluble flavors from the ground coffee, creating the final beverage.
The correct order is Roasting \(\rightarrow\) Blending \(\rightarrow\) Grinding \(\rightarrow\) Brewing, equivalent to B, D, C, A.
