B. Protozoa causing disease

The key word in the question is harmful way. A is wrong because it actually helps the environment by giving it nutrients when it decomposes the waste. C. is wrong because bacteria aiding in digestion is a must needed thing for our health since it can help rid bad ingredients in our food. D. is wrong because yeast causing bread to rise does nothing to harm people, unless someone is allergic to yeast.

Hope this helps!!!
