Solution
The correct option is C IARI, KVIC Biogas or Gobar gas is a mixture of gases containing methane predominantly. It is inflammable and can thus be used as a source of energy.
Biogas is produced by certain anaerobic bacteria collectively known as methanogens. Examples include Methanobacterium. The excreta of cattle (cow dung) is rich in such bacteria and can be used for the generation of biogas. It is produced at a large scale in biogas plants.
The technology of biogas production was developed in India mainly due to the efforts of Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) and Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC). Hence option c is correct.
