Correct Answer:

Lactobacillus

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) –Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus bacteria are commonly used in the fermentation process to convert milk into curd or yogurt.

Lactobacillus is known for its probiotic properties and is also found in various other fermented foods and beverages.
