The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Aspergillus niger is used in citric acid production.
Lactobacillus is used in yogurt and cheese making.
Trichoderma polysporum is a source of cyclosporin A (immunosuppressant).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in baking and brewing.
Propionibacterium sharmanii is used in Swiss cheese production for its characteristic flavor.
Trichoderma polysporum is used pharmaceutically, not typically in household products.

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]
