The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the controlled aerobic combustion of wastes at high temperatures (900-1300°C). 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options given are: - A) Incineration - B) Recycling - C) Pyrolysis - D) Sanitary dumping 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Incineration**: This process involves the controlled burning of waste materials at high temperatures, which reduces waste volume and can convert waste into energy. - **Recycling**: This refers to the process of converting waste materials into new products, not combustion. - **Pyrolysis**: This is a thermal decomposition process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, which does not fit the description of aerobic combustion. - **Sanitary Dumping**: This involves burying waste in a controlled manner, not combustion. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the process that matches the description of controlled aerobic combustion of wastes at 900-1300°C is **Incineration**. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **A) Incineration**.
