Answer: 2. Trichoderma polysporum

Key idea: Cyclosporin A, an immunosuppressant used in organ transplants, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum.

Other options: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the option here is misspelled "Streptococcus") makes ethanol, Clostridium butylicum makes butyric acid, and Aspergillus niger makes citric acid.
