Correct answer: B. Biodegradation
- A. Biofilters
- B. Biodegradation
- C. Biosorption
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Biodegradation is the process by which microorganisms break down organic matter. Depending on the material, this can take days, weeks or even centuries. Products that biodegrade quickly are preferable to those that don't; their harmful contents can be broken down in a shorter period of time.
