List-I List-II (A) Streptokinase (I) Trichoderma polysporum (B) Cyclosporin A (II) Streptococcus (C) Statins (III) Aspergillus niger (D) Citric acid (IV) Monascus purpureus Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
Streptokinase is an enzyme produced by the bacterium Streptococcus and is used as a clot buster. Therefore, (A) matches with (II). Cyclosporin A is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum and is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients. Therefore, (B) matches with (I). Statins are produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus and act as blood cholesterol-lowering agents. Therefore, (C) matches with (IV). Citric acid is an organic acid produced commercially by the fungus Aspergillus niger. Th
