Correct choice is (b) Netherlands

To elaborate: Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blankets (UASB) was a system developed in the Netherlands. In this system, very high-levels of biomass is retained in the reactor by flocculation. In this, no support media is added to the reactors and it acts as a fluidized-bed.
