Correct answer is (b) sodium carbonate
Absence of tartaric acid in baking powder makes the taste of the cake bitter due to the presence of Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)
We know that sodium carbonate is basic in nature.
NaHCO3 when heated gives Na2CO3 + CO2
So to neutralize the bitter taste tartaric acid is added.
