The correct answer is (b) Organic pollutants

Easy explanation: Bacterial assemblage or addition of bacteria to treat the organic waste can help in the degradation of organic pollutants. Bacteria has this special ability to use the organic waste as their sole carbon source to grow, thereby degrading them from the environment.
