DPenicillium roqueforti
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. CO₂ released during fermentation by Propionibacterium sharmanii
**Swiss cheese holes** = CO₂ produced by **Propionibacterium sharmanii** during fermentation. **Roquefort cheese** is distinct — ripened by the fungus *Penicillium roqueforti* growing on it (gives the blue veins + flavour).
