A Correct answer
Explanation

Tempering and conditioning are both processes that involve adding controlled amounts of water to wheat grains before milling. This increases moisture content to optimize bran separation and endosperm milling. Parboiling is typically considered a pre-milling treatment for rice, not a standard wheat processing operation in this context.
