Solution

The correct option is C tea leaves can harden and block the pipes.
The used tea leaves or solid food remains should not be thrown down into the drain as they can harden and block the pipes of the drain. Thus, the wastes choke the drains and do not allow free flow of oxygen. This in turn hampers the degradation process.
Therefore, used tea leaves should always be thrown in the dustbin.
