Best answer
Correct choice is (b) Rotating drum

The explanation is: Rotating drum has helical ridges on the inside which transports the waste in a helical manner with forced aeration and the mixing starts intensively which is then followed by self-heating, whereas, in vertical reactor, waste flows vertically, waste is loaded in a horizontal reactor with a wheel loader, and recycling is used to recycle the wastes and not produce compost.
