You have inoculated a Clostridium species into a tube of media. After incubation, you observe that there is no growth, and you remember that Clostridium is an obligate anaerobe. What is the best explanation for the observed lack of growth?a. There is not enough water in the environment for Clostridium to grow
b. There is not enough oxygen for use when toxic oxygen is present
c. Oxygen in the medium destroys the enzymes needed by Clostridium to undergo aerobic respiration
d. Clostridium does not have enzymes to process toxic oxygen

D. Clostridium does not have enzymes to process toxic oxygen

Explanation:

Obligate anaerobes are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen (20.95% O2). Oxygen tolerance varies between species, some capable of surviving in up to 8% oxygen, others losing viability unless the oxygen concentration is less than 0.5%. in other words, Obligate anaerobes are organism which can only live in environments which lack oxygen. Unlike the majority of organisms in the world, these organisms are poisoned by oxygen.

Therefore clostridium do not have enzymes to process this oxygen which is toxic for it

the  different  of  these  two  are  that  they  differently  handle  their  team.

an  expressive  leader  focuses  on  the  task  at  hand  and  make  sures  that  their  goal  is  achieved.  they  accurately  finish  the  task.  an  instrumental  leader  on  the  other  hand  works  on  the  unity  of  the  group,  they  care  more  about  their  employees.  all  the  while  creating  a  good  environment.

it is because according to the process , scientific inquiry is a process with many steps because each step occurs to the scientist and if you just skip a step there would be no steps to scientific inquiry.
