Explanation:

To isolate microorganisms, we need a solid medium (agar in a petri dish) to allow colony formation and inoculation tools (like inoculating loops) to transfer the sample. Nutrient broth is liquid and doesn't help in isolating individual colonies. A syringe is not typically used for standard microbial isolation.

Answer:

B. Agar in a petri dish, C. Inoculation tools
