Solution
The correct option is D Saccharomyces
Yeast are simple unicellular organisms belonging to the Kingdom Fungi. The alcoholic fermentation is conducted by yeast of the genus Saccharomyces. The two common species involved are S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus. Saccharomyces converts the glucose, fructose and sucrose found in grape must and juice into ethanol via the process of fermentation. In fermentation, an organic compound, in this case acetaldehyde, serves as terminal electron acceptor. This leads to the production of ethanol.
