Solution

The correct option is A Propionibacterium sharmanii
Different types of microbes are used for making different varieties of cheese. The unique characteristics of a particular cheese like texture, flavour and taste come from the microbes used. For example, the large holes in ‘Swiss cheese’ are due to production of a large amount of CO2 by a bacterium named Propionibacterium sharmanii.
