Options:

yoghurt

carbonated beverages

cheese

bread

Correct Answer:

bread

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) – bread

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a type of yeast commonly used in baking to leaven bread. Yeasts are unicellular fungi that ferment sugars present in dough, producing carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. This gas gets trapped in the dough, causing it to rise and resulting in a light and airy texture in the baked bread. Therefore, Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a crucial role in the fermentation process that gives bread its characteristic texture and flavor.
