Best answer
The correct answer is (d) By increasing the cell mass of microbes

For explanation I would say: The increase in the cell mass of microbes affects the flow pattern by shifting the fluid flow from high permeability zones to low permeability zones in the reservoir. This stimulates the growth of microorganisms which increases the mechanism of microbial plugging.
