Solution

The correct option is B

Yeast


Yeast is used for large-scale production of alcohol, wine and beer. It ferments the sugars present in the source material like grains or fruits and gives alcohol and carbon dioxide. Acetobacter is used for the production of vinegar from alcohol. Aspergillus is used for the production of citric acid which is used in the soft drink industry.
