Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Excess sulphur released from volatile compound and by sulphur reducing bacteria convert into part of reservoir pool.
* Some bacteria are sulphur reduces that changes sulfides and sulphur to inorganic sulphate by oxidation such as Thiobacillus, Penicillium, Neurospora and Beggiatoa.
* Some bacteria convert again inorganic sulphate to sulphide and sulphur by the process of reduction and it induces Aerobacter, Desulpho vibrio.
