Best answer
Right choice is (c) Biota

Easiest explanation: Redox potential, pH, ion concentration and temperature are the factors that influence the decomposition of xenobiotic compounds. These are the physiochemical forces that affect various xenobiotic compounds present in the environment. Whereas, biota refers to as plant life along with animal life.
