A sterile agar plate, I, is streaked with a pure culture of bacteria by means of aseptic techniques. Paper discs treated with the antibiotics Aureomycin (A) and penicillin (P) are placed at opposite sides of the plate, as shown in the diagram above. The plate is examined after a 24-hour incubation period, and a clear ring is discovered around disc A, but not around disc P. Within the clear ring around disc A, a single bacterial colony with physical characteristics like those of the pure culture is observed. A second sterile agar plate, II, is then streaked with this single colony and also incubated with antibiotics.Which of the following would most likely be observed in plate II after 24 hours?AA clear ring larger than that around disc A in plate I would appear around disc A only.BA clear ring larger than that around disc A in plate I would appear around disc P only.CA clear ring smaller than that around disc A in plate I would appear around disc P only.DThere would be a clear ring around both disc A and disc P.EThere would not be a clear ring around either disc A or disc P.
