Best answer
Right choice is (a) Mercury

The best I can explain: Mercury resistance in bacteria is usually found in metal contaminated sites. It is usually found in bacteria like in gram positive and negative and is related to plasmid. Whereas, Copper, Nickle and Magnesium resistance are usually not found in metal contaminated sites in bacteria.
