Answer»

Right option is (c) Discarded vegetables

To EXPLAIN I WOULD say: Discarded vegetables are degradable pollutants. SINCE they are organic, they can be rapidly broken down by micro-organisms through natural processes. Chemicals, metals, and plastics are inorganic and they will slowly DEGRADE, thereby, remaining in an unchanged form in the environment for many decades.
