Answer»

Correct option is (c) pit toilet

Easiest explanation: A pit latrine or pit toilet is a TYPE of toilet that collects human faeces in a hole in the ground. They USE either no water or one to three litres per FLUSH with pour-flush pit latrines. When properly built and maintained they can decrease the spread of disease by reducing the amount of human faeces in the environment from open DEFECATION. This DECREASES the transfer of pathogens between faeces and food by flies.
