The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Murashige and Skoog's Medium**: Murashige and Skoog's medium, also known as MS medium, is a type of nutrient medium specifically designed for plant tissue culture. 2. **Identifying the Purpose**: The primary purpose of MS medium is to support the growth and development of plant cells and tissues in vitro (in a controlled environment outside the organism). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Bacterial cultures**: MS medium is not designed for bacterial growth; other specific media are used for that purpose. - **(b) Raising plants through micropropagation**: This is the correct use of MS medium, as it is extensively used for micropropagation techniques to grow new plants from tissue samples. - **(c) Culture of Spirulina**: Spirulina is a type of cyanobacteria, and it requires a different type of culture medium, not MS medium. - **(d) Isolation of fungal strains**: Similar to bacterial cultures, fungal strains require specific media that are different from MS medium. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is (b) Raising plants through micropropagation. **Final Answer**: (b) Raising plants through micropropagation. ---
