Answer:

B. acidity of the vagina

Explanation:

The genus <em>Lactobacillus</em> includes rods and coccobacilli that lack catalase and produce lactic acid as the main fermentation product. <em>Lactobacilli </em>grow optimally under slightly acidic conditions. They are part of the normal flora of the human body and are present in the intestinal tract, vagina, etc.

In the human female vagina, the <em>Lactobacilli </em>are rarely pathogenic and rather serve as antimicrobial agents and prevent the growth of pathogenic microbes by imparting acidic pH to the vagina. Production of lactic acid by these bacteria imparts acidic pH and allows them to serve as antimicrobial agents.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target a few types of bacteria. Broad-spectrum antibiotics target many types of bacteria. Both types work well to treat infections. But using broad-spectrum antibiotics when they're not needed can create antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are hard to treat.

Extension is a physical position that occurs when angle between the bones and the limbs of joint increases.

It takes place when there is a contraction of muscles and bones move the joint from a bent to a straight position, it is opposite of flexion, in which the angle between the bones and the limb at the joint decreases.

Example: During straightening of the leg, the angle between the tibia and femur increases, which shows extension has taken place.
