Solution

The correct option is D Butyric acid bacteria
Retting is a process employing the action of microorganisms and moisture on plants to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and pectins surrounding bast fibre bundles and so facilitating separation of the fibre from the stem. Butyric acid bacteria helps in the retting of jute fibre.
