D) $ 0.2\times 10^{9}gm $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The average weight of a bacterium is typically measured in picograms (pg), where 1 pg = $10^{−12}$ g.
A typical mass of a bacterium is about $10^{−12}$ g or one picogram1.
Therefore, the correct answer would be option C: $0.2×10^{12}$ gm.
