The correct answer is (d) Pour plate and spread plate

To elaborate: The number of bacteria can be determined quantitatively by pour plate and spread plate technique due to a higher degree of dilution. The number of colonies can be counted which helps us to determine the number of bacteria present in a liquid specimen.
