Answer»

The correct answer is (c) Nozzle sparger

To explain I WOULD say: Nozzle spargers are used in many agitated FERMENTERS from laboratory to production scale. These spargers consist of a SINGLE open or partially-closed pipe providing a stream of air bubbles; advantages compared with other sparger designs include low resistance to GAS flow and small RISK of blockage.
