B)Cells of more than one strain
A pure bacterial culture contains only one species or strain of bacteria, while the other options (A, C, D, and E) can refer to variations within a single strain, such as differences in capsule production, flagellar antigens, colony morphology, or the presence of spores alongside vegetative cells.
