The provided ques is incomplete as it lacks the picture showing different media and result, however, the correct question is attached in picture format:

Answer:

The correct answer is - B as tube B shows H​​​​​​2​​​​​S production.we can see the black color formation.

Step-by-step explanation:

TSI is a differential media that can distinguish both hydrogen sulfide and fermentation. It is additionally a rich medium permitting the development of particular species.

Sodium thiosulfate and ferrous ammonium sulfate present in the medium identifies the creation of hydrogen sulfide and is shown by the dark shading in the bottom of the tube.

The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test is a microbiological test generally named for its capacity to test a microorganism's capacity to ferment sugars and to create hydrogen sulfide. It is frequently used to separate enteric microbes including Salmonella and Shigella.

Thus, the correct answer is - B as tube B shows H​​​​​​2​​​​​S production.we can see the black color formation.
