Solution

The correct option is A Slowest
Lag phase is the initial state in growth. The rate of growth is very slow in this phase. During this phase, bacteria adapt themselves to growth conditions. It is the period, where the individual bacteria are maturing and not yet able to divide. During the lag phase of the bacterial growth cycle, synthesis of RNA, enzymes and other molecules occurs.
