People who are lactose intolerant can often consume some products made from milk such as cheese and yogurt because microorganisms in their digestive system consume the lactose. By comparison, people with a true milk allergy, which involves an immune response to milk protein, cannot consume milk or products made from milk. Given this information, what can you conclude about milk?

A. Lactose is a carbohydrate, not a protein and is therefore not the cause of true milk allergies.
B. The protein that causes a true milk allergy is lactose.
C. All people who are lactose intolerant are also allergic to milk.
