The correct option is D MicrobeProductApplication(D)Clostridium butylicum LipaseRemoval of oil stains
Cyclosporine A and C are the immunosuppressive drugs which are obtained from Trichoderma polysporum.
Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus is used as the blood-cholesterol-lowering agent. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol.
Streptokinase is an enzyme secreted by several species of Streptococci that can bind and activate human plasminogen. It is used as an effective thrombolysis medication.
The bacterium Clostridium acetylbutylicum converts fermentable sugar to butanol. It also produces hydrogen gas, acetone, isopropyl alcohol. Isopropanol is a product of the organism formerly known as Clostridium butylicum.

So, the correct option is D.
