Answer: D
Human and animal anatomical waste is disposed of by incineration.
Under India's biomedical waste rules, human anatomical waste (tissues, organs and body parts) and animal anatomical waste go into the yellow category, whose prescribed treatment is incineration (or deep burial where no incinerator is available). Burning at high temperature destroys the tissue and its pathogens completely.
Autoclaving and microwaving sterilise wastes such as contaminated plastics, sharps and cultures, but they do not destroy body parts. Composting is for ordinary biodegradable waste and would spread infection from infected tissue.
