A
yeast fermentation
B
domestication
C
bioremediation
D
selective breeding
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bioremediation is an eco-friendly process of the degradation of toxic pollutants into nontoxic or less hazardous substances mediated by microbial enzymes. Biodegradation of various hazardous pollutants through the application of different enzymes from bacteria and fungi have been widely studied.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bioremediation can be defined as any process that uses bacteria, fungi, green plants or their enzymes to return the environment altered by contaminants to its original condition. Bacteria that can degrade some soil contaminants such as chlorinated hydrocarbons are used in bioremediation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Currently, microbes are used to clean up pollution treatment in processes known as ‘bioremediation’. Bioremediation uses micro-organisms to reduce pollution through the biological degradation of pollutants into non-toxic substances.
