Question
X is an artificial or man-made inorganic salt, that causes soil and water pollution and is soluble in water. Identify X.Select an answerACompostBVermicompostCFertilizerDManure
Solution
The answer is C. Fertilizer.
Here's why:
- Compost (Option A) and Manure (Option D) are both organic materials, not inorganic. They are made from decomposed plant and animal matter, not artificially or man-made.
- Vermicompost (Option B) is also organic. It is the product of the composting process using various species of worms.
- Fertilizer (Option C), on the other hand, can be an artificial or man-made inorganic salt. Many fertilizers are made from minerals or produced industrially. These fertilizers can cause soil and water pollution when used excessively and are soluble in water.
