• D. 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b

• Idli batter is fermented with the help of Lactobacillus. This is the reason why sometimes little bit of curd is added to the batter.
• Yeast is added while making cakes. Yeast ferments the sugar and produces carbon dioxide, which makes the cake spongy.
• Clostridum is a harmful bacteria that can spoil cooked food.
• Fungi grows on jute bags, leather, etc. in presence of moisture. This results in the wear out of these items with time.
