Solution

The correct option is A Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Baker's yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to leaven breads or to raise them and give them the airy and fluffy texture. Yeast releases CO2 as a byproduct of aerobic respiration and this gas causes the dough to double in size over time to get it ready for baking.
