Best answer
Correct answer is (d) Goldfish

The explanation: Goldfish is not a microbe which can be used to degrade the pollutants present in various wastes, whereas, Planktonic algae, cyanobacteria, fungi, protozoa, bacteria etc., are the microbes used to degrade xenobiotic compounds. Also, it can degrade all the pollutants efficiently, thereby causing no harm to the environment.
