Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

This bacterial genus produces lactic acid as a by-product of metabolism. It is found in the female reproductive tract and maintains a lower pH (more acidic environment). This property and the physical features of the lactobacillus bacterial species allow it to withstand stomach acid more easily than other bacteria.
