___________ manures are refuses of plants and animals which are bulky in nature and supply nutrients in small quantities, and organic matter in large quantities.

The correct option is C Natural
Most animal manure consists of
feces. Common forms of animal manure include farmyard manure (FYM) or farm
slurry (liquid manure). FYM also contains plant material (often straw), which
has been used as bedding for animals and has absorbed the feces and urine.
Agricultural manure in liquid form, known as slurry, is produced by more
intensive livestock rearing systems where concrete or slats are used, instead
of straw bedding. Manure from different animals has different qualities and
requires different application rates when used as fertilizer. For example, horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and guano from
seabirds and bats, all have different properties. For instance, sheep manure is
high in nitrogen and potash, while pig manure is relatively low in both. Horses
mainly eat grass and a few weeds so horse manure can contain grass and weed
seeds, as horses do not digest seeds the way that cattle do. Chicken litter,
coming from a bird, is very concentrated in nitrogen and phosphate, and is
prized for both properties.
