Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Secondary treatment is also called biological treatment or microbial degradation. It is mainly a biological process. Biogas is a mixture of gases, containing predominantly methane `(50 - 70%), CO_(2) (30- 40%)` and traces of hydrogen `H_(2)S` and nitrogen.
