Best answer
Correct answer is (a) Bioaccumulation

Explanation: Bio augmentation is usually the addition of any microbial culture to rapidly increase the rate of degradation of a pollutant in the environment. Bioleaching is the extraction of metals using microbes and Vermicomposting uses earthworms for composting purposes. Bioaccumulation in bacteria helps in the uptake of heavy metals in bacteria.
