Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In the given case, a similar amount of colonies is witnessed in both control as well as the test plate. This concludes that it does not influence the organism, thus, there was no enhancement in the rate of reversion, that is, the number of colonies in the test plate does not get decrease. Thus, the compound in the disc is not mutagenic as there was no increase in the reversion rate.

George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:

"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."
