Answer 2

The best way to dispose the solid waste is- a) Incineration.

• Incineration is the process in which solid waste is burnt in incinerators. It takes less time and reduces solid waste by 95%. It also reduces our dependency on landfills.
• Segregation, composting or recycling is a good method but it takes time.
• The dumping of solid waste in oceans pollutes the oceans.
• Land filling method pollutes the soil and environment. Harmful gases are released from land fill sites.
