Solution

The correct option is C Ripe banana
The ripe banana is the most suitable medium for the culture of Drosophila melanogaster. It has high sugar content that acts as a great source of sugar for the microorganisms. Moist bread is used for the fungus rhizopus as a culture medium and agar-agar is a tissue culture medium. While cow dung is used as a manure and in production of biogas.

Hence,option C is correct.
