Solution

The correct option is A Cruickshank
The process of fermentation is the form of anaerobic respiration carried by some microorganisms. Many microorganisms such as fungus and bacteria can grow and flourish in the complete absence of oxygen. Such microorganisms can utilize sugars to convert it into ethanol or other products and evolve carbon dioxide. Cruickshank used the term 'fermentation' for this process of anaerobic respiration by the microorganisms.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
