The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided in the options and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option A**: - The statement claims that "activity-resistant sediment in settlement tanks of sewage treatment plants is a resource of aerobic bacteria." - In sewage treatment, the sediment that settles in the settling tank is known as activated sludge, which is indeed rich in aerobic bacteria. This statement is correct. 2. **Evaluate Option B**: - This option states that "biogas is produced by the activity of aerobic bacteria on animal waste." - Biogas is primarily produced by anaerobic bacteria that decompose organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Option C**: - The statement claims that "methanobacterium is an aerobic bacterium found in the rumen of cattle." - Methanobacterium is actually an anaerobic bacterium that plays a role in the digestion process in the rumen. Thus, this statement is also incorrect. 4. **Evaluate Option D**: - This option states that "biogas commonly called gobergas is pure methane." - Biogas is a mixture of gases, primarily methane (50-70%) and carbon dioxide (30-40%), along with small amounts of other gases. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all the options, we find that only Option A is correct. **Final Answer**: The correct statement is Option A: "activity-resistant sediment in settlement tanks of sewage treatment plants is a resource of aerobic bacteria."
