Answer: B

Explanation: It doesen't destroy, doesen't remove ooxygen and nitrogen, and it might contaminate healthy soil in some specific things but most likely not so that leaves B and we know when something dies and decomposes the nutrients from the body is spread to the ground, bugs, and other animals.
