Solution

The correct option is C Improves aeration among cells
When the broth is allowed to settle in the bioreactor, the cells will eventually fall to the bottom and start to clump. Clumping of the cells will lead to lesser availability of oxygen and nutrient for growth. This is not an ideal situation. Stirring helps in removing any clump formation and promotes better aeration.
