Answer: 2. (a) (ii), (b) (i), (c) (iv), (d) (iii)

Match each microbe with its product.

Clostridium butylicum produces butyric acid, so (a) - (ii).
Trichoderma polysporum produces cyclosporin-A (immunosuppressant), so (b) - (i).
Monascus purpureus yields statins, blood-cholesterol lowering agents, so (c) - (iv).
Aspergillus niger produces citric acid, so (d) - (iii).

This is (a)(ii), (b)(i), (c)(iv), (d)(iii), which is option 2.
