Answer:

b. a capsule

Explanation:

The capsule is mainly made up of polysaccharides and surrounds many bacteria. Capsule staining includes mixing of the bacterial cells with dye and spread out in a thin film on a slide. After air-drying, the cells appear as light-colored structures present in a relatively dark blue-black background. This occurs since the dye particles cannot penetrate either the cell or its capsule. Therefore, the given slide with a colorless ring around the cells in a dark background represents the presence of a capsule around the observed cells.

It is mostly likely the cell membrane.

The cell membrane is a structure of a cell composed of double layer of lipids and proteins. It surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm from its surrounding environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable (semi-permeable), which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit. It can also control the amount of some substances that go into or out of the cell.
