The answer is E.

A Gram-negative rod that releases a green diffusible pigment in culture is most likely one of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related species. Pseudomonas are often resistant to multiple antibiotics. Piperacillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin, was introduced as particularly effective against Pseudomonas. Its use with a beta-lactamase inhibitor (Tazobactam) increases its potential value as an empiric agent to use in the treatment of Pseudomonas infections.
