The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for the oldest food item that involves the use of microbes in its preparation. 2. **Identifying the Food Item:** Among various food items, cheese is recognized as one of the oldest foods that utilize microbial activity in its production. 3. **Microbial Role in Cheese Production:** Different varieties of cheese are produced using specific microbes which contribute to their unique textures and flavors. For example, Swiss cheese is made using a bacterium known as Propionibacterium freudenreichii, which is responsible for its characteristic holes and flavor. 4. **Evaluating Other Options:** The other options provided (ice creams, soups, and "all") do not have the same historical significance in terms of microbial usage as cheese does. Ice creams and soups do involve some microbial processes, but they are not as ancient or as well-documented as cheese. 5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the correct answer to the question is cheese, as it is the oldest food item known to utilize microbes in its production. **Final Answer:** Cheese is the oldest food item in which microbes were used. ---
