Solution

The correct option is D Acetobacter
The bacteria Acetobacter aceti is involved in the conversion of ethanol formed during fermentation into vinegar. This can happen when Acetobacter bacteria acts on alcoholic beverages such as wine and, therefore, vinegar may also be an undesirable product formed during alcoholic beverage production.
