Solution

The correct option is B Bacillus
The bacterial species are the most common contaminants in the case of the food grains. The moisture which is present in the food grains allows the growth of the bacterial species. This bacterial contamination leads to the destruction of the cereals and food grains during storage and post-harvest action. The common bacterial species are Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Micrococcus, etc. These contaminate the freshly harvested grains.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
