Solution

The correct option is B Yeasts
Yeast is used in the making of alcohol. For many years, the only source of ethanol for industrial use was from the fermentation of sugars by yeast.

The basic reaction of this conversion involves the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol anaerobically.
