The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the provided statements to determine which one is correct. Let's analyze them one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (A)**: "Use of incinerators is crucial to the disposal of hospital waste." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Incinerators are indeed crucial for the disposal of hospital waste as they help in safely burning waste materials that may contain harmful pathogens and chemicals, thus preventing environmental contamination. 2. **Statement (B)**: "Recycling is the only solution for the treatment of e-waste." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. While recycling is an important method for treating e-waste, it is not the only solution. Other methods include refurbishing, reusing components, and proper disposal methods to minimize environmental impact. 3. **Statement (C)**: "Fish-eating birds containing 2 ppm DDT become agents of biomagnifications." - **Analysis**: This statement is also false. Fish-eating birds typically accumulate much higher levels of DDT (around 25 ppm or more), which is what contributes to biomagnification. Therefore, the statement is incorrect. 4. **Statement (D)**: "Polyblend is a fine powder of bitumen." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. Polyblend is not a fine powder of bitumen; it is actually a product made from recycled modified plastic waste, which is used in various applications, including road construction. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the statements, the only correct statement is **Statement (A)**. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is **(A)**: "Use of incinerators is crucial to the disposal of hospital waste." ---
