Correct option is (d) Vegetable oil

To explain: Tarry residue, oily sludge, slop oil, spent catalyst, organic residues, etc. are the hazardous waste of petrochemical processes which should be handled correctly and disposed of carefully without causing any damage to the environment. Vegetable oil doesn’t pose any threat as it’s a kitchen waste and not waste of petrochemical processes.
