Best answer
Right answer is (b) Aspergillus

To elaborate: Bioaccumulation is a process of fungal bioleaching in which the mycelium of the fungi accumulates the heavy ions. Bacillus is a genus of bacteria and not fungi and among the other three options the genera of Aspergillus have high ability to accumulate heavy metal from the external environment.
