(B) Yeast $(Saccharomyces \text{ } cerevisiae)$ is a fungus that performs fermentation to obtain energy. It requires a carbon source, specifically sugars like glucose or sucrose, to carry out metabolic activities and grow efficiently. Therefore, yeast grows most rapidly in a sugar solution as it provides the necessary substrate for respiration and rapid cell division.
