Best answer
Correct option is (d) Anaerobic digestion

The best I can explain: Vermicomposting is usually used to treat lignocellulosic waste which are also dry in nature, Aerobic composting is used to treat dry solid waste, Incineration is method to treat wastes by burning i.e. heat, Anaerobic digestion is used to treat wastes with simple organic matter and with high water content which thereby, degrades it and produces better marketable compost.
