Correct option is (b) Autoclave

The explanation: Autoclave is an instrument that works on the principle of batch sterilization. It is used to kill germs which invade the fermentation media. The incubator provides optimum conditions for the growth of microorganisms. Laminar Air Flow (LAF) prevents the contamination of biological samples. A centrifuge is used in the separation of liquids or gases.
