Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "semiliquid" implies more liquid - like, not midway between liquid and solid.
• "semisolid" means having a firmness between a liquid (broth) and a solid medium, which matches the description.
• "seminutrient" relates to nutrients, not the firmness of the medium.

Answer:

B. semisolid
