Answer»

Right answer is (a) Vegetable matter

For EXPLANATION: Vegetable matter PRODUCES about 8 TIMES more gas, so the quantity required is much smaller in batch production for the same gas production from any other wastes. A mixture of dung and vegetable matter is hence ideal in most ways, with a MAJORITY of vegetable matter to provide the biogas and the VALUABLE methane contained in it.
