  • B.Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum
  • C.Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus
  • D.Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium camemberti

Answer: C

These two Aspergillus species are the aflatoxin producers, growing on crops in the field and in poorly dried storage. The Penicillium species named are used in cheese making, and the Fusarium species produce a quite different group of toxins.
