The correct answer is Option (3) → A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
(A) Methanobacterium — this matches (II) Break down of cellulose. This methanogen lives in the rumen of cattle and helps break down cellulose; in a biogas plant it produces methane.
(B) Monascus purpureus — this matches (IV) Blood-cholesterol lowering agent. This yeast makes statins, which block the enzyme that makes cholesterol.
