Solution

The correct option is C

Woody materials and food waste


Equal amounts of green (high nitrogen) and brown (high carbon) materials are necessary to get the right mixture which helps in producing high quality compost. Materials like straw, hay, woody materials, dried corn stalks, paper wastes are all considered as the brown matter, while manures, green material (grass clippings), food wastes, nitrogen fertilizer etc are considered as green matter. Together they make the ideal combination for compost making.
