Best answer
Right choice is (a) Oxidation ditch

The best I can explain: An oxidation ditch is an activated sludge process in which long solids retention time is used to remove biodegradable organics, maturation ponds is for the removal of pathogens, activated sludge system is the biological treatment of wastewater using bacteria, Pond sludge is the accumulation of organic debris at the bottom.
