Solution
The correct option is B Dumping
Dumping also known as landfilling is one of the oldest and most prevalent forms of waste disposal. Large wells or pits are dug out and waste is filled in. This is then covered back up with soil. Landfilling is mainly used in large cities as the amount of waste produced is too large.
Composting involves the dumping of plant, animal and agricultural (organic) wastes in pits and allowing them to decay and decompose.
