Solution

The correct option is C X: Biomedical waste
Y: Plastic
Z: Vermicomposting
  • Biomedical wastes include bandages, needles, gloves, test tubes, body parts, blood samples etc which needs to be handled with a lot of precaution to prevent the spread of diseases.
  • Plastics are widely used due to their light weight, durability, ease of moulding etc. Due to toxic substances present in them, it kills soil microbes and hampers the process of decomposition.
  • Earthworms produce manure from solid wastes by a technique known as vermicomposting.
