Answer:
Antibiotic flavicin is obtained from A) Aspergillus flavus.
Explanation:
The organism is known for its saprophytic and parasitic mode of nutrition. It mosty affects the roots of the plants such as legumes, grains and nuts.
Though it attacks the plant in a preharvest stage and starts the infection, it does not show any symptoms whereas the products start rotting only during the harvest or during the transport of these products.
It produces a bacterial metabolite called Flavin which has strong anti-bacterial activity against major microbes.
