Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

• In a continuous culture system, fresh medium is continuously added and used medium is removed, maintaining cells in the log (exponential) phase, not the lag phase.

• The lag phase is a period of adaptation, not active growth, so it is not maintained in such systems.
