Solution

The correct option is C Butyric acid bacteria
Stem and leaf fibres are separated from softer tissues by bacterial action of two types- dew retting (e.g. Pseudomonas fluorescence) and anaerobic retting (e.g. Clostridium or butyric acid bacteria).
Retting of jute fibres is anaerobic retting. The fermenting microbe during this activity is Butyric acid bacteria.
