Best answer
The correct option is (c) Color of species

The best explanation: Color of species is not a relevant factor to consider for affecting microbial population and hence, it really doesn’t matter in a bigger prospective. Also, it doesn’t correlate with the metal contamination. Resistant population is selected over the original strain, that affects the microbial population, also, reduction in abundance, diversity of species are the other factors.
