Answer : 4. "Indian Institute of Science (IISc)"
Explanation :

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a safe process for the production of recombinant proteins (RPs), which are proteins modified by recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. Traditionally, RPs such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies are produced using organisms such as the yeast Pichia pastoris, which uses hazardous methanol. The new method uses mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) as a safer alternative.
