Which of the following is primarily a yeast-derived flavor?

  1. Banana

  2. Biscuit

  3. Citrus

  4. Minty

The correct answer is: Banana

Yeast is a type of fungus that is used in baking and brewing to produce many different flavors. However, out of the given options, only banana can be described as primarily a yeast-derived flavor. Biscuits are typically made with baking powder or baking soda, not yeast. Citrus and mint flavors are usually derived from fruits or plants, not yeast. So, out of all the options, banana is the best choice for a flavor that comes mostly from yeast.
