Acrylamide gels have a higher resolution than agarose gels, making them ideal for separating very small DNA fragments. Blood agar is a type of growth medium for bacteria and is not used for gel electrophoresis. Agarose gels are commonly used, but they have a lower resolution than acrylamide gels. Therefore, choice D and E are not the best options.
