Question

Manish's mother stopped him from throwing tea leaves in the wash basin while washing the container. She did this because

Options:

A . tea leaves will grow into a plant.

B . tea leaves will make the drain to stink.

C . tea leaves can harden and block the pipes.

D . tea leaves will allow more wastewater to pass.

Answer: Option C
:
C
The used tea leaves or solid food remains should not be thrown down into the drain as they can harden and block the pipes of the drain. Thus, the wastes choke the drains and do not allow free flow of oxygen. This in turn hampers the degradation process.
Therefore, used tea leaves should always be thrown in the dustbin.
