AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each option and determine which one correctly matches the organism or substance with its function or product. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option (a): Aspergillus niger - Acetic acid** - Aspergillus niger is a fungus known for its role in the production of citric acid, not acetic acid. Therefore, this match is incorrect. 2. **Evaluate Option (b): Streptokinase - Immunosuppressive** - Streptokinase is an enzyme used as a clot buster in medical treatments, particularly for dissolving blood clots. It does not function as an immunosuppressive agent. Thus, this match is also incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Option (c): Cyclosporin - A - Clot buster** - Cyclosporin A is an immunosuppressive drug commonly used in organ transplant patients to prevent rejection. It is not a clot buster. Therefore, this match is incorrect as well. 4. **Evaluate Option (d): Statins - Cholesterol lowering agent** - Statins are indeed cholesterol-lowering agents that are used to manage cholesterol levels in the body. They are derived from fungi, specifically Monascus. This match is correct. ### Conclusion: The correct match is **(d) Statins - Cholesterol lowering agent**. ---
