    Answer: C. Accessibility to nutrients makes the mouth a favorable habitat.

    Explanation:

    Bacterial are single celled, prokaryotic organisms. They can be found in many living habitats such as water, air, soil, food and even in the body of other living organisms.

    Bacteria can be found in the human mouth where they get access to the food particles which remain inside the mouth, but are not digested. The nutrients present in these food particles are degraded by these bacteria resulting in foul smell. Thus the accessibility of nutrients in the mouth makes the suitable environment for the survival of the bacteria.
