Best answer
Right choice is (d) 121°C

Easiest explanation: The highest temperature, which appears to be feasible for batch sterilization is 121°C so the procedure should be designed such that exposure of the medium to this temperature is kept to a minimum. The nutrients might get depleted if there is a long exposure.
