Solution

The correct option is D Lactobacillus
Lactobacillus is a bacterium that converts milk into curd. It acts on the lactose part of the milk and turns it into lactic acid. The increased acidity leads to the coagulation of the casein protein of the milk and turns it into curd.
So, the correct answer is option D.
