- Polythene bags

- Nylon
Correct Option: A
Biodegradable waste is a type of waste which can be broken down, in a reasonable amount of time, into its base compounds by micro-organisms and other living things, regardless of what those compounds may be. Wool is the textile fiber obtained from sheep and certain other animals which is organic in nature and thus can be degraded and be used as substrates for keratinase production.
