Solution

The correct option is D Acidobacillus ferroxidens
Industries release gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in air. When it rains, water droplets react with these gases, forming acids. These acids cause contamination of soil. Bacteria like Acidobacillus ferroxidens and Acidophillium species control soil and groundwater contamination.
