Downstream processing entails recovering pure products as well as treating wastewater. Product recovery can be accomplished through a series of processes that include cell separation by settling, centrifugation, or filtration; product recovery by disruption of cells when the product is produced intracellularly and product extraction and purification. Finally, the effluents are treated chemically, physically, or biologically.

Option b is the correct answer.
