The answer is the second one (or B): spirilla.

Explanation for each option:

  • Coccobacilli: These are bacteria that are oval and similar in shape to both cocci (spherical bacteria) and bacilli (rod-shaped bacteria). They are not helical in shape.
  • Spirilla: These are rigid bacteria with a helical or spiral shape. They are characterized by their twisted form and rigid structure.
  • Vibrios: These bacteria are comma-shaped or curved rods, not helical.
  • Spirochetes: These are also helical bacteria, but they are flexible, unlike spirilla which are rigid.

Summary: Rigid bacteria with a helical cell shape are called spirilla.
