Diagram b shows a cell wall with a thick layer of peptidoglycan, making it resistant to many antibiotics such as penicillin. Diagram a, on the other hand, has a thinner layer of peptidoglycan and is more susceptible to antibiotics. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it displays a cell wall that is resistant to many antibiotics.
