Answer 1

Cyclosporin A, a Trichoderma product, is an immunosuppressant that blocks the activation of T helper cells and interferes with the release of interleukin-2 and thereby prevents organ rejection in transplantation processes. Statins are the competitive inhibitor of enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis and are produced by Monascus species. Clostridium butyricum is anaerobic bacteria that produce butyric acid. Aspergillus sp. produces citric acid through fermentation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
