I wanted to authorize quicktime player to use microphone but it wasn't showing in the privacy list.
Actually no app is showing at all.
My system version is Mojave 10.14.3.
I am confused why this is happening.
Could anyone help me with it?
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
First I would try booting in Safe Mode then restart normally to see if the list repopulates. If not post back.

Completely uninstall cleanmymac - this is to be considered malware.
Then run the 10.14.4 Combo Update, to try and fix the stuff that cmm corrupted.
See how things go.
Ultimately, a clean install is probably the way to go, but try the above first.
Never let this **** of a program anywhere near your mac.
One should never use any program that claims to "clean", "speed up" or "optimize" your mac. They're scams.
This one is particularly nasty.
You should run Etrecheck again and make sure that there are no remnants of this still around.
The comprehensive solution:
1) Make a full backup of your mac, preferably two
2) Erase your drive and install Mojave
3) Migrate ONLY the user accounts; NOT applications, settings, or other files.
4) Install from the App Store or the respective developers' sites the applications you want to use.
You will end up with what may seem like a new mac.
ThankHere is my etrecheck report :)
No, I was not asked for permission.
This is what I got in Quicktime Player's audio recording.
Please run EtreCheck and paste the report for analysis.
Use the additional text icon under the reply window to paste it in.
Thank you for your help! Unfortunately this doesn't fix.. The list does not repopulate neither in safe mode nor after restarted.
Start an application that would use your microphone - for example, start Quicktime Player and try to do a sound recording.
Do you not get asked for permission?
I followed your advice but the problem is still there...
btw, I had no idea about cleanmymac... Is there a recommended alternative for it?
no apps listed in my mac's microphone privacy setting after updated to mojave
