Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List-I		List-II
(a)	Aspergillus niger	(i)	Acetic Acid
(b)	Acetobacter aceti	(ii)	Lactic Acid
(c)	Clostridium butylicum	(iii)	Citric Acid
(d)	Lactobacillus	(iv)	Butyric Acid

 Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

 

• A. (iv) (ii) (i) (iii)
• B. (iv) (ii) (i) (iii)
• C. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv
• D. (ii) (iii) (i) (iv)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this problem, we need to correctly match the microorganisms in List-I with the acids they produce or are associated with in List-II.

1. Aspergillus niger:
   • Aspergillus niger is a well-known fungus used industrially for the production of citric acid.
2. Acetobacter aceti:
   • Acetobacter aceti is a bacterium used in the production of acetic acid, which is the main component of vinegar. 
3. Clostridium butylicum:
   • Clostridium butylicum is known for producing butyric acid. It is used in various fermentation processes.
4. Lactobacillus:
   • Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria known for its role in producing lactic acid. They are commonly found in yogurt and other fermented foods.

By using the information above, we can match each organism from List-I to their respective product in List-II:

1. (a) Aspergillus niger - (iii) Citric Acid
2. (b) Acetobacter aceti - (i) Acetic Acid
3. (c) Clostridium butylicum - (iv) Butyric Acid
4. (d) Lactobacillus - (ii) Lactic Acid

Therefore, the correct matches are: (iv) (ii) (i) (iii), which corresponds to the option: (iv) (ii) (i) (iii).

Hence, the correct answer is the choice (iv) (ii) (i) (iii). This matches each organism in List-I with its correct acid product in List-II.
