Answer»

The correct answer is (c) Whitish appearance

To elaborate: Homogenization of milk INCREASES its WHITENING POWER DUE to an increase in the number and surface area of the fat globules. Adsorption of casein micelles and serum proteins on newly created fat globules surface increases scattering of light thereby CAUSING whiter appearance.
