B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct match. Pollulan is produced by using the fungus Aureobasidium pollulans. Gellan is produced by Pseudomonas elodea. The exopolysaccharide curdlan is commercially produced by employing Alcaligenes faecalis. Scleroglucan is a fungal heoxpolysaccharide. It is commercially produced by Sclerotium glucanicum.
