The correct option is A:

Explanation of Correct option:

  1. Vegetables are organic substances that can be acted on by bacteria and decomposed into simple organic molecules.
  2. The vegetables are made up of cellulose and pectin, which can be broken down by microbe-secreted enzymes. As a result, it is biodegradable waste and can undergo bio-decomposition.

Explanation of Incorrect option:

Option B:

Glass is non-biodegradable and cannot decompose by microbes.

Option C:

Plastic is non-biodegradable and cannot decompose by microbes.

Option D:

Metal is non-biodegradable and cannot decompose by microbes.

Final Answer: Hence the correct answer is vegetable.
