Milk, if left out of the refrigerator will quickly go sour.
Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

  • A.The higher the temperature, the faster the milk will go sour.
  • B.Bacterial action causes the milk to go sour.
  • C.Viruses cause milk to go sour faster.
  • D.As milk goes sour, it becomes more acidic.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Viruses cause milk to go sour faster.

Milk sours because bacteria ferment its lactose to lactic acid - viruses have nothing to do with it. The other three statements are true: warmth speeds bacterial growth, bacteria are the cause, and the souring is the acid produced.
