D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens are examples of decomposer bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -The necrobiome has been defined as the community of species associated with decaying corpse remains. The process of decomposition is complex. Microbes decompose cadavers, but other organisms including fungi, nematodes, insects, and larger scavenger animals also contribute.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most decomposers are microscopic organisms, including protozoa and bacteria. Other decomposers are big enough to see without a microscope. They include fungi along with invertebrate organisms sometimes called detritivores, which include earthworms, termites, and millipedes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Back to the Beginning. When plants and animals die, they become food for decomposers like bacteria, fungi, and earthworms. Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air, and water.
