The correct option is D Single cell protein

Spirulina is simply a type of cyanobacteria. Single-cell protein (SCP) refers to edible unicellular microorganisms. The biomass or protein extracted from pure or mixed cultures of algae, yeast, fungi or bacteria may be used as an ingredient or a substitute for protein-rich foods, and it is also suitable for human consumption or as animal feeds.
