Best answer
Right option is (d) Recalcitrant

The explanation: Nitro-aromatic compounds are formed by incomplete combustion and hence, they are persistent in the environment called as Recalcitrant. Whereas, molecular oxygen that is found in the environment helps to degrade plant and animal biomass into carbon dioxide and water, Oxygen and Carbon are not called as recalcitrant.
