Best answer
Right choice is (b) Synthetic media

The explanation is: The synthetic media provides the fewest problems while downstream processing as it is fully soluble. But it is generally used only at the small-scale level as it is very expensive and in pure form. It is used to determine the effect of a particular component on the growth of organisms.
