Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Waste is classified by its source and by the risks created during handling and disposal.
Municipal and agricultural waste are source-based categories, whereas toxic and biomedical waste are identified by hazardous properties or healthcare origin.
Application
Waste category | Example | Basis of classification |
|---|---|---|
Municipal waste | Demolition waste | Municipal activities generate construction and demolition debris; therefore municipal waste is paired with demolition waste. |
Toxic waste | e-waste | Discarded electrical and electronic equipment can contain toxic metals and other hazardous constituents; therefore toxic waste is paired with e-waste. |
Biomedical waste | Syringes | Used syringes arise from diagnosis, treatment, or immunisation and belong to biomedical waste. |
Agricultural waste | Straws | Straw is the dry stalk residue left after harvesting crops and belongs to agricultural waste. |
Cross-check and contrast
Demolition debris is linked to urban construction activity, not to toxic or biomedical sources by default.
E-waste is associated here with toxic constituents, while a syringe is identified by its healthcare use.
Crop straw is an agricultural residue rather than municipal construction debris.
Thus the matching is Municipal waste–Demolition waste, Toxic waste–e-waste, Biomedical waste–Syringes, and Agricultural waste–Straws.
