Solution

The correct option is C Agricultural waste: b, c, e
Electronic waste: a, d
Agricultural waste is generated from plants and animals. They can be easily decomposed and is not harmful to environment as it doesn't contain any hazardous substances in them.
Electronic waste on the other hand is obtained from discarded and dysfunctional electronic gadgets. The materials used to make these electronics cause harmful health effects when not disposed properly.
