Question

what is the preferred method of preventing or diverting wasted food?
o a. incineration
o b. feed animals
o c. industrial uses
o d. composting

Explanation:

Composting is a natural process that recycles organic waste, such as food scraps, into nutrient - rich soil amendment. It diverts food waste from landfills where it would decompose anaerobically (producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas). Incineration of food waste can release pollutants. Feeding animals (while a valid option for some food waste) may have limitations like food safety (e.g., not all food waste is safe for animals). Industrial uses (such as using food waste for biofuels in some cases) are less common and often more complex compared to the widespread and relatively simple practice of composting for diverting food waste.

Answer:

d. Composting
