The answer is c) A few minutes.

Explanation for each option: a) 1-2 hours: This is incorrect. The Gram stain procedure itself is relatively quick and does not take 1-2 hours to perform and analyze. b) 48 hours: This is incorrect. 48 hours is typically the time required for bacterial culture growth, not for performing a Gram stain. c) A few minutes: This is correct. The Gram stain procedure, including the staining and microscopic examination, can be completed in a matter of minutes, usually around 15-30 minutes. d) 24 hours: This is incorrect. Similar to option b, 24 hours is more relevant to bacterial culture growth rather than the Gram stain process.

In summary, the Gram stain is a rapid procedure that can be performed and analyzed in a few minutes.
