Solution

The correct option is C Serratia- Drug addiction
Rhizobium produces nodules in the root nodules where they fix nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere turning it into a more readily useful form of nitrogen (N).
The most interesting property of Streptomyces is the ability to produce bioactive secondary metabolites, such as antifungals, antivirals, antitumor and, anti-hypertensives, immunosuppressants, and especially antibiotics.
Serratia is known to cause nosocomial infections.
Spirulina has a high supply of carotenoids such as beta-carotene and yellow xanthophylls and is used as single cell protein.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
