Best answer
Right choice is (c) Microbial demethylations

Easiest explanation: Microbial demethylations is a process which is used for de-alkylation using microorganisms like fungi and bacteria using the process of oxidation. Whereas, adsorption, chemical precipitation, reverse osmosis and solvent extraction is used for heavy metal removal from water and it does not help in method of dealkylation using microorganisms.
