Answer is (d) Bacillus anthracis

Some organisations exploit biological resources of other nations without proper authorisation from the countries concerned. This is known as biopiracy. 

The plants such as basmati rice, black pepper, Indian mustard, etc., are related with biopiracy. However, Bacillus anthracis is the only organism which is not linked with biopiracy.
