Solution

The correct option is B

Kitchen waste, leaves, fruit peels


Kitchen waste, leaves and fruit peels are completely organic in nature and can degrade or decompose naturally into simpler compounds. Their biodegradability makes them more eco-friendly and releases nutrients which add fertility to the soil. Other substances mentioned are non-biodegradable and their direct disposal into soil or water can have harmful effects.
