  1. Modern detergents contain enzyme preparations of:
    1. Acidophiles
    2. Alkaliphiles
    3. Thermoacidophiles
    4. Thermophiles
Correct Option: B

Modern detergent contain enzymes preparations of alkaliphiles. Alkaliphiles live in alkaline environments like soda lakes, or alkaline soil. The pH level in alkaline substances is from about 9 to 11 on the pH scale. The alkaliphiles keep an alkaline level of about pH 9 inside the cells, but the environment has a higher level of alkalinity. Alkaliphiles can keep the right pH level by pumping in hydrogen ions in out at the right rate.
