4. They contribute to 90% of broad-spectrum antibiotics of the world.

• A. 1, 3, and 4 are correct
• B. 2, 3, and 4 are correct
• C. 3 and 4 are correct
• D. 1 and 4 are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2, 3, and 4 are correct

Gram-positive bacteria are fungal bacteria. This is characteristic of bacteria that have a cell wall composed of a thick layer of a particular substance called peptidoglycan. They do form calcareous conidia as they have a cushion-like fruiting body and they contribute about 90% of the antibiotics of the world.

So, the correct option is B.
