Answer:
The correct answer is B-typically grow slower than in pure culture
Explanation:
In nature, microbes experience lots of challenges like challenges to get space, to live, to get food, to adapt to the changing environment, to get protection from their pathogens and predators, etc. So these all challenges affects the growth rate of microbes.
In pure culture only one type of bacteria is grown on a nutrient-rich media and a steady environment is given to them to grow. In pure culture, there are no predators and competitors for microbes.
So all this provide favorable condition for a microbe to flourish in a pure culture so the growth of an organism in pure culture is higher than in nature. So the correct answer is B.
Okay, this has to be in your own words, but I will tell you this. Natural Selection is living organisms that have adapted to the environment which surrounds them leading the the producing of offspring. Example, bugs are eaten by frogs and frogs are eaten by snakes and snakes are eaten by birds.
