C
time
D
oil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -7.2 Limitations of bioremediation Bioremediation is limited to those compounds that are biodegradable. This method is susceptible to rapid and complete degradation. Products of biodegradation may be more persistent or toxic than the parent compound in the environment. Biological processes are highly specific.

Detailed explanation-2: -So far organisms that are omnivorous to remove large variety of natural chemicals hardly exist in nature. Moreover, bioremediation is time-consuming and slow to establish its effectiveness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Limited up to biodegradable compounds: Bioremediation is limited to biodegradable compounds. Specificity: Biological processes are largely specific. Scale up limitation: Technological advancement : Tedious process: Regulatory uncertainty: 09-Jun-2020
