Solution

The correct option is B Streptobacillus
A chain of coccus bacteria constitutes Streptococcus. For example, Streptococcus pneumoniae. A chain of rod-shaped bacteria or bacillus constitutes Streptobacillus. For example, Streptobacillus moniliformis. The grape-like aggregate of coccus bacteria constitutes Staphylococcus. For example, Staphylococcus aureus. A grape-like aggregate of rod-shaped bacteria or bacillus constitutes Staphylobacillus. For example, Salmonella typhi.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Streptobacillus.'
