Solution

The answer to your question is A. Media that changes color as a result of the biochemical activity of growing bacteria usually contain a pH indicator in the media. This is because many bacteria produce byproducts that can change the pH of their environment. When the pH changes, it can trigger a color change in the pH indicator.
