Solution

The correct options are
A Acidophillium
B Acidobacillus ferroxidens
Industries release gases like sulphur dioxide. When it rains, water droplets react with this, forming acids and carry them down. Acidophillium and Acidobacillus ferroxidens are the species of bacteria that reduce sulphur and derive energy from it, for carrying out its metabolic activities.
