Best answer
Right option is (a) Ultrasonication

To elaborate: Ultrasonication is a method which uses ultrasonic waves to lyse the cells. Shock waves are formed due to collapses in area of rarefaction. Hence this method is used for lab scale procedures as compared to large scale work. Homogenization is widely used to disrupt the cell wall or cell membrane. Freezing is nothing but cold or psychrophilic shock. Alkali treatment is a chemical method that uses alkali to lyse the cells.
