    B Phytoremediation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Biostimulation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Biiomobililization Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Phytoremediation is a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for managing metal pollution.   Plants, through their natural physiological processes, can help reduce the concentration of metals in contaminated areas. The roots of these plants take up metals from the soil, and the metals can be stored in the plant tissues or, in some cases, transformed into less toxic forms.
