Explanation
★Statement I is true and Statement II is false, so the answer is Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
★Integrated Solid Waste Management guides decisions across the whole life cycle of waste.
★It covers generation, recycling and final disposal of waste residues, so statement I is true.
★Source reduction means cutting waste at its origin by using less and reusing more.
★It is the most preferred, first step in the waste-management hierarchy.
★So source reduction is very much a part of Integrated Solid Waste Management.
