Yeast, categorized under option d, is a type of fungal microorganism known for its role in fermentation. This amazing organism has been used for centuries in brewing beer, baking bread, and even winemaking. They thrive in warm, sugary environments and convert sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol, which is what gives bread its fluffy texture and beer its delightful fizz!

The world of fungi is vast and varied! Interestingly, yeast is just one small part of this kingdom—the largest being mushrooms, which can be delicious, poisonous, or even bioluminescent. A healthy environment for fungi not only helps them reproduce but also helps ecosystems by decomposing organic matter and cycling nutrients. So next time you enjoy a slice of pizza or drink a pint, think of the tiny fungi working behind the scenes!
