Solution

The correct option is C Segregation
Waste segregation is the process of separating waste into dry and wet wastes. Dry waste includes wood and other materials like metals and glass. Wet waste typically refers to organic waste usually generated in households. Waste can also be segregated on the basis of biodegradability and non-biodegradability.
