The right answer is a raised, circular colony.

In biology, a colony (from Latin colonia) is a group of individual organisms belonging to the same living species grouped together in a particular way of life.  

The appearance of the colonies is the primary character used to guide the diagnosis made by the bacteriologist.  

The shape of the colonies depends on:  

A) intrinsic factors to the bacteria:  

- mobility  

- morphology: size, shape, contour, relief, surface  

- production of a capsule  

- production of extracellular material  

- pigmentation  

- presence of fimbriae  

B) extrinsic factors:  

- Gradients of solutes created around the colony  

- presence of dyes in the culture medium
