The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "Which one produces gas by decomposing the gobar (dung) in gobar gas?", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - Gobar gas is produced from the decomposition of organic matter, specifically dung (gobar). - The question asks which organism is responsible for this decomposition process. 2. **Identifying the Organisms**: - The options provided are fungus, virus, methanogenic bacteria, and algae. - Each of these organisms has different roles in the ecosystem. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Fungus**: While fungi decompose organic matter, they primarily break down complex organic materials and do not produce biogas. - **Virus**: Viruses do not decompose organic matter; they infect living cells and are not involved in the decomposition process. - **Methanogenic Bacteria**: These are a specific group of bacteria that thrive in anaerobic (oxygen-free) environments and are known for breaking down organic matter, producing methane and carbon dioxide as byproducts. - **Algae**: Algae are photosynthetic organisms and do not play a role in the anaerobic decomposition of dung. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **methanogenic bacteria**. They are responsible for the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, including dung, leading to the production of biogas (gobar gas). ### Final Answer: The organism that produces gas by decomposing the gobar (dung) in gobar gas is **methanogenic bacteria**.
