Solution

The correct option is A
A–(vii), B–(vi), C–(v), D–(iv), E–(ii), F–(iii), G–(i)
Primary treatment removes floating and suspended solids from sewage through filtration and sedimentation.
Secondary treatment is purely a biological treatment involving microbial activity.
Most of the suspended material get concentrated and settles down. The sedimentation is called the primary sludge and supernatant is called effluent.
The effluent is passed through a sedimentation tank where microbial flocs are allowed to settle down. The settled material is called activated sludge. A part of activated sludge is used as in column in aeration tank.
The remaining is passed into a large tank called anaerobic sludge digester.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
