Solution

The correct option is C

Bone


Bone will take the longest time for biodegradation as the inorganic content is highest in it and it takes about 8-12 years.
Cotton decomposes within a month to 5 months. Paper decomposes in 2 to 5 months. Bacterial decomposition of jute is rapid under aerobic conditions only when the fiber is actually wet.
