    the rod shaped bacteria

    Explanation:

    The fact that this is a Gram-positivebacterium means it has a very thick cell wall compared to a Gram-negativebacterium. Since this bacterium is known as a 'coccus', that automatically means it has a round shape, as opposed to a rod-shaped bacteria.
