2. **Need to select for the growth of fungi (yeasts & molds):**
   - **Options:** 
     - Sabouraud-Dextrose Agar (SDA)

3. **Need to grow fastidious bacterial pathogens of humans:**
   - **Options:** 
     - SCC Agar (SCCA)

4. **Need to differentiate bacteria based on hemolysis:**
   - **Options:** 
     - Blood Agar (BA)

5. **Need to select for salt tolerant bacteria:**
   - **Options:** 
     - MSA

6. **Need to select for members of genus _Staphylococcus_ in pus from an abscess:**
   - **Options:** Choose from available media.

7. **Need to select for members of bacterial family Enterobacteriaceae, e.g., E. coli, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia, Klebsiella, Proteus:**
   - **Options:** 
     - MacConkey Agar (Mac)

8. **Need to differentiate between lactose fermenting and non-lactose fermenting enterics:**
