Best answer
Correct choice is (a) Enzymes

For explanation I would say: Enzymes are the biological compounds that are used in bio degradation of xenobiotics whereas Chemicals might help in degradation but are harmful to the environment, physical sorting is tedious hence, not effective and poly-cyclic aromatics hydrocarbons are environmental pollutants.
