Hint:
Various commercially and industrially important chemicals like organic acids, alcohols, enzymes etc, are produced by different microbes. Microbes are also used for commercial and industrial production of certain chemicals like organic acids, alcohols, and enzymes. Enzymes are also produced with the help of microbes.

Complete step by step answer:
Fungus Trichoderma polysporum secretes an immunosuppressant known as cyclosporin A. This is used in organ transplants so as to suppress the immune response of the host mechanism against newly attached organs. Yeast Monascus purpureus secretes a bioactive compound known as statins which have been commercialized as blood-cholesterol-lowering agents. Statins block the enzymes which are needed for the synthesis of cholesterol.
A bacterium called Streptococcus releases an enzyme called Streptokinase. This enzyme undergoes modification through the process of genetic engineering and functions as a clot buster. It is used for the removal of blood clots seen in the blood vessels of various patients who have undergone myocardial infarction leading to a heart attack. Clostridium bretylium (a bacterium) releases butyric acid and does not release lipase as its product. Lipase is an enzyme used for breaking lipid molecules.
The bioactive molecule cyclosporin A, which is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus.
Streptokinase is produced by the bacterium Streptococcus and modified by genetic engineering and is used as a ‘clot buster’ for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients

Option ‘C’ is correct

Note:
Lipases are used in detergent formulations and help remove oily stains from the laundry. Some of the acid producers are Aspergillus niger( a fungus) of citric acid and Acetobacter aceti (a bacterium) of acetic acid
