Solution

The correct option is D S. cerevisae
The yeast most commonly used for leavening bread is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the same species used for brewing alcoholic beverages. This yeast ferments some of the carbohydrates in the flour, including any sugar, producing carbon dioxide.
So the correct option is 'S. cerevisiae'.
