(d) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: d. Let's match the bioactive molecules from List-I with their functions/applications from List-II:
(A) **Statins** (e.g., Lovastatin, produced by *Monascus purpureus*) are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis. They are widely used as agents for **lowering blood cholesterol**. So, (A)-(III).
(B) **Cyclosporin A** (produced by the fungus *Trichoderma polysporum*) is a powerful **immuno-suppressive agent**. It is used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. So, (B)-(IV).
(C) **Streptokinase** (produced by the bacterium *Streptococcus*) is genetically engineered to be a 'clot buster'. It is used to dissolve blood clots, particularly in patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. So, (C)-(II).
(D) **Lipases** are enzymes that break down lipids (fats). They are commonly incorporated into detergent formulations to help in the **removal of oily stains** from laundry. So, (D)-(I).
Combining these matches, we get: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I), which corresponds to option (d).
