Solution
The correct option is A Thermus aquaticus
The DNA polymerase typically used in PCR is called Taq polymerase, named after the heat-tolerant bacterium from which it was isolated (Thermus aquaticus). This heat-stability makes Taq polymerase ideal for PCR. High temperature is used repeatedly in PCR to denature the template DNA, or separate its strands.
