Q. What will happen if all the bacteria and fungi are destroyed?

A) There will be no disease and death
B) No antibiotics would become available
C) Dead bodies and excretions will pile up
D) Soil will become rich of all nutrients
Explanation

As decomposers are the primary weapons to decompose the dead organic matter so, the extinction of the decomposers will severely destroy the nature as the dead remains in the nature will accumulate and they will not get decomposed. The dead matter will not get decomposed and as a result the soil will not get the nutrients by the decomposition of dead matter and hence the soil will become infertile
