Bioremediation is a technique used in biotechnology, in which living organisms such as bacteria and microbes are used for the breakdown of pollutants into non-toxic material.

Bioremediation serves as a detoxification process wherein living microbes including bacteria, fungi and yeast are made use of.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c. Bioremediation.
