-

Waste from hospitals
-
B.
Radioactive waste
-
C.
Waste from schools
-
D.
Waste from homes
Correct Answer:
B. Radioactive waste
Explanation:
Radioactive waste is not categorized as municipal solid waste because it requires specialized handling, containment, and disposal protocols due to its hazardous ionizing radiation. Unlike waste from residential homes, schools, or hospitals—which typically consist of everyday items like paper, plastics, and organic matter—radioactive materials originate from nuclear power plants, industrial processes, and specific medical treatments, and are regulated under distinct environmental safety frameworks.
