yes it's J because vibrios are the only one in enterobacteriaceae family who are oxidase positive ...and after eating undercooked or raw seafood -V.parahemolyticus is the bug.....V.vulfinicus after eating raw oysters...hope it helps..

I'm going with V. parahemolyticus because of the above listing. BTW, Vibrio sp. are NOT in the Family Enterobacteriaceae. The following is a page with a summary of this family:

I believe the latter have to be oxidase negative.

They are in the family Vibrionaceae. The page listed is a good one to bookmark as it is an alphabetical list of bacterial pathogens.
