Explain the Difference Between a Biotype and a Serotype

Explain the difference between a biotype and a serotype.

A) A biotype is the living type of microorganism identified, while the serotype is an individual's type of blood serum.
B) A biotype is the type of biological environment a microbe will grow in, while the serotype is the type of blood serum that the microbe can grow in.
C) A biotype is the particular phenotypic traits and characteristic structures of a biological microorganism, while the serotype is the list of molecules the microbe is able to make and secrete into the serum of an infected individual.
D) A biotype is the biochemical profile of a particular microorganism, while the serotype is the difference in its surface structures/antigens that will lead to separate immune responses from an organism (characterized by presence of different antibodies in the individual's serum) .
E) There is no real difference between a biotype and a serotype. These two words mean essentially the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
