The correct answer is (a) contaminated water being purified.

The bacteria can be used to clean the dirty and contaminated water. The sewage treatment plant uses useful bacteria to digest the slurry. The anaerobic bacteria digests the contaminated sewage and produces methane gas. This gas is used further as a fuel for cooking food.

Thus, with the help of science contaminated water is purified.
