Options

A. Decline, lag, log phase
B. Lag, log, stationary phase
C. Stationary, lag, log, decline phase
D. Lag, log, stationary, decline phase

Answer

D

Explanation

* Lag phase : In this phase bacteria inactive state.
* Log phase : In this phase bacteria start to divide.
* Exponential phase : In this phase bacteria multiply at high rate.
* Stationary phase : In this phase bacteria stop to divide.
* Decline phase : In this phase bacteria stop to divide and their growth start to decline.
