Answer 1

The correct option is A Bioremediation

• The technique of cleaning the environment with the help of microbes, plant and animal species is called bioremediation.
• The organisms involved in bioremediation have the ability to breakdown harmful toxic components of the environment.
• The genes responsible for the breakdown of toxic components are selected and introduced into other organisms by the process of transgenesis.
• Such animals can be also used for bioremediation. Thus the correct answer is option A.
