Solution

The correct option is C Support the growth of aerobic bacteria
Aeration is the addition of oxygen to waste water. Aeration chambers are used in packaged and extended aeration plants to provide an aerobic environment for the bacteria which involves the breakdown of the organic matter. It degrades the complex molecules into the simpler molecules which forms flocs that can be easily removed during the further treatment.
So, the correct answer is option B.
