The answer is alpha hemolysis. The other types of hemolysis are beta and gamma hemolysis. While beta hemolysis leaves a clear zone in the area around the bacterial growth, gamma hemolysis indicates that there is a lack of hemolysis and thus the agar is unchanged in the vicinity of a bacterial colony.

<span>A greenish area around a bacterial colony growth on blood agar indicates an alpha-hemolysis.
Blood agar is an enriched, bacterial growth medium, that encourages the growth of bacteria, such as streptococci, that otherwise wouldn't grow on an ordinary growth media. Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells. The medium is used to detect bacteria that produce enzymes to break apart the blood cells. When alpha hemolysis is present, the agar under the colony is dark and greenish.</span><span />

<h3>What is an earthquake?</h3>

Earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.

The majority of the earthquakes occur alongside the Ring of Fire of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is found in the basin which is a land area found close to the coastlines of the ocean. This validates its occurrence on land but close to the oceans.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
