Best answer
Correct option is (d) Glass

To explain: Oxidation of Sulphur, thioether oxidation, usually performed by microbial population by oxidizing the Sulphur present in the pesticides. Glass contamination is not responsible for oxidation of Sulphur. Copper, cadmium, mercury and zinc etc. are found in the soil which when contaminated leads to variable reduction in bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in the soil.
