Solution

The correct option is D Amylase
  • Aspergillus niger is a haploid filamentous fungus which is used for waste management and biotransformations in addition to its industrial uses, such as the production of citric acid and extracellular enzymes such as Amylase.
  • It is one of the most important microorganisms in biotechnology. It has been already used to produce extracellular enzymes such as glucose oxidase, pectinase, α-amylase and glucoamylase, organic acids, and recombinant proteins.
  • Hence Aspergillus niger produces enzyme Amylase.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Amylase'.
