• B. The health problems are minimised since flies, rats and other pests cannot breed
• C. It is mostly free from fire hazards
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The landfill is an area of land used to dump the solid waste. It has its advantage as the dumping of waste material prevents the burning of it which is the major cause of air pollution. Rats, pests and other animals cannot breed in it due to the absence of air and decomposing of waste by microorganisms which reduce health problems and it is safe from hazards caused due to fires.
