Phytoremediation is the only method among the given options that involves the use of plants to clean up soil and water by absorbing and removing contaminants. Bioremediation is a similar method but it involves the use of microorganisms instead of plants. Physical methods and chemical methods generally involve the use of equipment and chemicals respectively to remove contaminants. Nanomagnets is a relatively new technology that uses magnetic nanoparticles to remove contaminants, but it is not as well-established as phytoremediation.
