Best answer
The correct choice is (a) Isoamyl acetate

The explanation: Isoamyl acetate is responsible to impart banana flavour to the beer. It is also called as isopentyl acetate and is a colourless liquid that is slightly soluble in water. It is a banana smelling ester which is used in many fragrance and flavour imparting departments in industries.
