The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organism**: The question asks about *Trichoderma polysporum*, which is identified as a fungus. 2. **Type of Fungus**: It is specified that *Trichoderma polysporum* is an aerobic fungus, meaning it requires oxygen for its metabolic processes. 3. **Industrial Use**: This fungus is known for its industrial applications, particularly in the production of certain pharmaceuticals. 4. **Specific Drug Production**: The primary drug produced from *Trichoderma polysporum* is **cyclosporine A**. This drug is classified as an immunosuppressive agent. 5. **Function of Cyclosporine A**: Cyclosporine A is used to lower the immune response in patients, particularly in the context of organ transplantation. It helps prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ by suppressing the immune system. 6. **Evaluate Other Options**: - **Streptokinase**: This is an enzyme used as a clot buster, but it is not derived from *Trichoderma polysporum*. - **Statins**: These are cholesterol-lowering agents, unrelated to *Trichoderma polysporum*. - **Clot Buster**: This term generally refers to drugs like streptokinase, which dissolve blood clots, but again, this is not produced by *Trichoderma polysporum*. 7. **Conclusion**: Based on the information gathered, the correct answer to the question is that *Trichoderma polysporum* is a source of **cyclosporine A**. ### Final Answer: *Trichoderma polysporum is a source of Cyclosporin-A.* ---
