Answer 1

Right option is (a) Bio-magnification

The explanation is: Bio-magnification is the process by which toxic substances get deposited in the food chain, quorum quenching leads to inhibition of the quorum sensing, quorum requirement is the minimum number of organisms required to form a colony, and lyophilization is a process of freeze drying.
