Solution

The correct option is C AIDS
The biomedical wastes may contain the blood, disposed cotton, bandages, tissues, needles, syringes, etc. These biomedical wastes should be disposed of properly through incineration. The wastes if not handled properly might result in bacterial infections, AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis, etc. AIDS is a syndrome which is acquired due to HIV which can be present in the blood of the infected person. The infected blood may lead to spread of the disease.
Thus, the correct answer is 'AIDS'.
