In the context of which one of the following are the terms ‘pyrolysis and plasma gasification’ mentioned?

D.Waste-to-energy technologies
A.Extraction of rare earth elements
B.Natural gas extraction technologies
C.Hydrogen fuel-based automobiles

Correct Answer: Option D

Pyrolysis, gasification, and plasma technologies are all thermal processes that utilize high temperatures to break down waste materials.

These processes, like incineration, are used in waste-to-energy technologies.

A key distinction is that pyrolysis and gasification use less oxygen compared to traditional incineration methods.

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) Waste-to-energy technologies.
