B Correct answer
Explanation

Wastes can be classified into three types: Biodegradable waste - It is the waste that will decay and decompose into the soil. All waste derived from living matter is biodegradable. For example, food waste such as fruits and vegetable peels, meat and bones, leaves, flowers, paper, etc. Non-biodegradable waste – It is the waste that will not decay and decomposed into the soil. This includes plastics (for example, bags and packaging material), metals (cold drink cans) and glass (old bottles, broken glass pieces, bulbs), etc. Toxic (poisonous) Waste - Wastes such as medicines, batteries, dried paint and dried shoe polish, etc. are toxic. These are much more difficult to dispose.

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.
