(b) Waste in pit B degraded faster than that in pit A.

(d) Waste in both pits did not degrade at all.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is B)

Explanation: (b) In comparison to pit A, pit B degraded faster because it was kept open and that's why it took oxygen much faster than pit A. Oxygen helps microbes to demoralize the organic waste. But, in the case of pit A, the plastic avoided the proper flow of air. That's why microbial degradation didn't take place in pit A.
