Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Enterobacteriaceae can be defined as the group of gram negative bacteria. These are non sporing rods that grow at body temperature of human beings 37-43 degrees C.

They are facultative anaerobes and are capable of fermenting glucose into various kinds of end products.

They incubate on the temperature that is found inside human body and they inside the intestine of human body.
