Question

Statement I: Total number is an easily adoptable measure if the population is huge and counting is impossible or very time consuming
Statement II: In a dense laboratory culture of bacteria in a petri dish the best measure to report its density is number or biomass.

• A. Only statement $I$ is correct
• B. Only statement $II$ is correct
• C. Both statements $I$ and $II$ are correct
• D. Both statements $I$ and $II$ are incorrect
