Correct answer is (a) Vertical reactor

The explanation: In vertical reactor, the waste flows vertically with mass flow in a vertical direction, rotating drum with helical ridges can transport the waste in a helical manner, whereas, windrow composting is a type of non-reactor system used for composting systems where the waste material is in direct contact with atmosphere, and waste is loaded into a horizontal reactor composting system with a wheel loader.
