Incineration is the waste disposal method most suited to:
Aplastic bottles and packaging
Bgarden and kitchen refuse
Chazardous clinical waste
Dscrap metal and old wire
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. hazardous clinical waste
1. Incineration burns material completely inside an incinerator.
2. Complete burning at high temperature destroys pathogens and dangerous residues.
3. That makes it the method for hazardous clinical waste, where destruction matters more than recovery.
4. Plastics and scrap metal are better recycled, since the material itself still has value.
5. Garden and kitchen refuse decomposes and is better composted than burnt.
