Answer:

Streptococcus

Explanation:

Coccus (plural cocci) bacteria are those that are oval or spherical in shape when viewed under a microscope. Coccus bacteria end up forming different shapes when they reproduce or multiply.

When they grow in clusters, they are referred to as Staphylococci, when in chains, they are streptococci and when they are arranged in pairs, they are diplococci. Enterococci are arranged in short chains or in pairs but usually gram positive in nature.

The correct option is streptococcus.

Answer:

<em>Streptococcus</em>

Bacteria can be grouped based on their physical characteristics. Cocci are spherical shaped bacteria, and based on their arrangement can be grouped as:

Streptococci: they appear in a chain

Staphylococci: they appear as a cluster (grape-like)
