Best answer
Correct answer is (a) Microbes

For explanation: Microbes use carbon source to grow degrading soil contaminants, chemicals don’t use carbon sources for growth as it isn’t a living entity, quorum quenching leads to inhibition of quorum sensing and lyophilization is a process of freeze drying.
