The correct Answer is:
A
Saccharomyces cerevisiae used for bread making and commonly called brewer’s yeast is used for fermenting malted cereals and fruit juices to produce ethanol. The dough which is used for making foods is also fermented by bacteria. The puffed up appearance of dough is due to the production of `CO_(2)` gas.
