Answer: Option A
Solution:
Pallisade arrangement is characteristic of Corynebacterium.
The corynebacteria are gram-positive bacilli that are nonspore forming club-shaped rods. The name is derived from the Greek koryne, which stands for club.
Bacteria are small, pleomorphic, aerobic, non-spore forming bacilli. They are Gram positive and slightly club shaped. In a typical Gram stain these bacteria appear as V-in Y-shaped arrangements or a palisade arrangement of the cells.
