Solution

The correct option is C Bioremediation
Bioremediation means cleaning of the environment of organic chemicals with the help of microbes, plant and animal species. The organisms involved in bioremediation are of two types, hyperaccumulators and detoxifying. Hyperaccumulators are used in bioprospecting and removal of minerals from wastes. The detoxifying agents metabolize the harmful chemicals through various biochemical reactions.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
