Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. А-ІІ, В-III, C-IV, D-I
• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• D. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the question regarding the matching of List I with List II, we need to understand the association between different microorganisms and their respective products or roles as given in Lists I and II.

1. Streptococcus: This bacterium is known as a "clot buster" because it produces streptokinase, an enzyme used to dissolve blood clots in medical treatments. Thus, the correct match here is ii. Clot buster.
2. Trichoderma polysporum: This fungus is known to produce Cyclosporin A, a crucial immunosuppressive drug used during organ transplants to reduce the chances of rejection. Therefore, its correct match is iii. Cyclosporin A.
3. Monascus purpureus: This organism produces metabolites known as statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The correct match is iv. Statins.
4. Aspergillus niger: This fungus is traditionally used in the industrial production of citric acid. The correct match is i. Citric acid.

Combining these matches, we find the correct answer to be: А-ІІ, В-III, C-IV, D-I.
