Solution
The correct option is BDiplococcus In 1928, Frederick Griffith had conducted a series of experiments with Diplococcus pneumonia. Griffith found that the bacterium had two forms, when grown on agar plates, a smooth (S) and a rough (R) form. The R bacteria were harmless, but the S bacteria were lethal, when injected.
