Solution

The correct option is B Septic tanks
A septic tank is a tank, that is typically underground, in which sewage is collected and allowed to decompose through bacterial activity before draining by means of a leaching field. Septic tanks are suitable for places, such as hospitals, isolated buildings, etc where there is no sewerage system.
