I had been asked this question in semester exam.

This interesting question is from Microbial Transformations of Pesticides in division Microbial Transformations of Pesticides of Environmental Biotechnology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Organic chemicals

To explain I would say: Bio-remediation is most suitable for the degradation of organic chemicals, methane is produced by microorganisms, CO2 and nitrogen are not pollutants and hence, are not suitable for the degradation.
