Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Explanation
Statement 1 is true, as municipal solid waste does include both garbage and rubbish.
Statement 2 is false, because it is rubbish, not garbage, that contains combustible and non combustible materials.
Garbage refers to the decomposable food and kitchen waste that rots quickly.
Rubbish covers dry items like paper, glass, metal and plastic.
This split matters for choosing composting, recycling or incineration.
Mixing the two makes recovery and safe disposal harder and costlier.
