When only plants are used to absorb or destroy pollutants from soil, the technique is specifically called:
APasteurisation
BPisciculture
CPhyto-remediation
DVermiculture
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Phyto-remediation
1. Bioremediation uses plants and microorganisms together.
2. When plants alone do the cleaning, the technique is named phyto-remediation.
3. Pisciculture is fish farming, pasteurisation heats milk and vermiculture rears earthworms, so they do not fit.
