Solution

The correct option is D The transgenic organism take long time to achieve growth phase
Bioreactors are expensive units to maintain. An organism that take a long time to reach growth phase, makes out for an expensive investment if the batch culture is used. Every cycle of sterilization and inoculation of the culture is very expensive. Instead a continuous culture where nutrients can be added at regular intervals, while removing a part of the final culture makes more sense, monetarily.
