Solution

The correct option is A Agar
Agar is an efficient water imbibant as it is a component made up of subunits of sugar galactose. When it is dissolved in boiling water and cooled, it looks like a gel and is often used to solidify the culture medium as it cannot be degraded by bacteria.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
