III. Leather

IV. Clothes

Select the correct options.

Options:

I and II

I, II, III and IV

I, II and III

Correct Answer:

I, II, III and IV

Explanation:

Fungi can grow on the following items mentioned in the options:

I. Bread: Fungi, such as molds, can commonly grow on bread. The high moisture content and nutrient availability in bread create favorable conditions for fungal growth.

II. Pickles: Fungi can also grow on pickles, particularly if they are not properly preserved. The brine or liquid in which pickles are stored can sometimes provide a suitable environment for fungal growth.

III. Leather: While fungi are not typically known to grow directly on leather, leather products can be susceptible to fungal growth if they are stored in damp or humid conditions. Fungi can thrive on the organic materials present in leather if the conditions are favorable.

IV. Clothes: Fungi can grow on clothes under certain circumstances. Clothes made from organic materials like cotton or wool, when exposed to dampness or stored in humid environments, can provide a suitable habitat for fungi to grow. This can result in mold or mildew formation on clothes.
