Solution

The correct option is B Colony 4
Bacterial colony 4 fails to grow on agar containing tetracycline and ampicillin and must, therefore, contain the inactive tetracycline resistance gene with the inserted DNA. These bacteria are transformed, hence should be cloned and amplified.
So, the correct option is 'Option C'.
