A.
A gene is a section of a chromosome that typically contains the code for a particular protein. An allele is one of two or more alternative forms of a gene.

B.
An allele is a section of a chromosome that typically contains the code for a particular protein. A gene is one of two or more alternative forms of an allele.

C.
A gene is a section of DNA , which typically contains the code for a specific protein that determines a specific trait. An allele is a section of a gene.

C or D is correct...

A gene is a stretch of DNA or RNA that determines a certain trait. Genes mutate and can take two or more alternative forms; an allele is one of these forms of a gene. For example, the gene for eye color has several variations (alleles) such as an allele for blue eye color or an allele for brown eyes.

An allele is found at a fixed spot on a chromosome. Chromosomes occur in pairs so organisms have two alleles for each gene — one allele in each chromosome in the pair. Since each chromosome in the pair comes from a different parent, organisms inherit one allele from each parent for each gene. The two alleles inherited from parents may be same (homozygous) or different (heterozygotes).

Fermentation is the process whereby carbohydrates are converted to acohol or acid by the activities of some enzymes. During the process of fermentation, carbon dioxide is produced and it is found as tiny pockets of air inside the bread dough. This make it to rise. The alcohol produced evaporates later during the bread making process.
