Solution

The correct option is A compost
Composting is a process in which organic wastes are decomposed naturally to form a nutrient-rich compost. It is a natural and environment-friendly process, which forms a key feature in organic farming. Organic substances like animal faeces, leaves, grass clippings, vegetables, eggshells, etc. can also be composted and used in farms.
