Correct answer: C

This is a renaming (object-substitution) coding-decoding puzzle. Each object is given a new name, and you must answer using the new name of the object that actually performs the stated task.

Step 1 - Identify the real object: Baking is done in an oven.

Step 2 - Apply the substitution rule: The rule says 'oven is called grinder'. So in this coded language, the oven is now referred to as a 'grinder'.

Step 3 - Answer in code: Therefore, the lady will bake in a 'grinder'.

Hence the correct answer is Grinder.
