Solution

The correct option is D Yeast helps in fermentation.
Yeasts are single-celled microorganisms and belong to kingdom Fungi. In an anaerobic (in absence of oxygen) process of obtaining nutrition, yeasts feed on carbohydrates (sugars) and break them down into alcohol, releasing carbon dioxide. This process is called fermentation. They are used to make bread, wine and beer.
