B ... includes methods like metagenomics, which sequence and interpret all the DNA in an environmental sample.

Explanation:

Environmental microbiology is the science in charge of the study of microorganisms, small living things known as microbes. Study organisms that are only visible through a microscope, such as prokaryotic and simple eukaryotic organisms.

Metagenomics is the study of a collection of genetic material from a mixed community of organisms. Metagenomics usually refers to the study of microbial communities. It is generally used when studying microbial communities in which one microorganism cannot be separated from another.
