The correct answer is (a) Excess Heat

Easy explanation: Excess heat affects the production of amylase. The amount of extra heat generated during the fermentation process results in the drying up of the fermentation medium. Thus, the medium starts losing the moisture content which affects the microbial growth and therefore, it affects the production of amylase.
