Explanation:

Question 1

Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of everyday items like paper, food scraps, and bottles generated from households, businesses, etc. Hazardous waste is toxic, nonmunicipal is from non - city sources, and e - waste is electronic. So the correct option is b.

In the anaerobic (without oxygen) stage of landfill decomposition, bacteria break down organic matter and produce methane gas. Oxygen is not produced in anaerobic conditions, nitrogen is not a main product here, and carbon monoxide is not the main gas from landfill anaerobic decomposition. So the correct option is c.

Compost is made by decomposing organic materials such as food waste, yard waste, etc. Metals, plastics, and synthetic fibers are not organic and not the primary components of compost. So the correct option is a.

Answer:

b. Municipal solid waste
