Hint These are solid waste except the waste running in sewage and our body wastes. These include animal and vegetable wastes resulting from the handling, preparation, cooking, or consumption of food.

Complete answer:
Putrescible organic waste is included in the garbage.“Putrescible” means substances that are capable of being decomposed by microorganisms and becoming putrid. Putrescible waste includes garbage, but these are not limited to garbage, offal, dead animals, general household waste, and commercial waste. Putrescible waste is a solid waste that contains organic matter that can be decomposed by microorganisms so as to cause a malodor, gases, or other offensive conditions, or that can be used as food for birds and other vectors.

Additional Information:
-Putrescible wastes may be formed from contaminated leachate, from microbiological degradation, during various chemical processes, and physical processes.
-All solid wastes which don't meet the definitions of inert or chemical wastes shall be considered putrescible wastes.
-Garbage, trash, rubbish, or refuse are those wastes that are discarded by humans.
-The term generally doesn't encompass bodily waste products, purely liquid or gaseous wastes, nor toxic industrial waste products.
-Garbage is usually sorted and classified into sorts of material suitable for specific sorts of disposal.
-In urban areas, all kinds of garbage are collected and treated as municipal solid waste.

So, the correct answer is,’Garbage’.

-Litter is a form of garbage, and municipal solid waste that is improperly disposed of, and which finally enters the environment, is treated as litter.
