The correct answer is none of the above.
Bacterial cells can transfer genetic material through a process called bacterial conjugation. This process involves the direct physical contact of the bacterial cells and a horizontal gene transfer. The genes which are transferred are most of the times beneficial for the recipient, such as genes for antibiotic resistance.
In this example, bacterial cells cannot have physical contact, since they are separated by a glass filter. Therefore, the bacterial conjugation cannot happen. Given that no gene transfer can be achieved, the AY strain remains bio- trp- and is unable to grow on any medium that lacks bio or/and trp.

I believe the answer is b sorry if I’m wrong
