  4. D.Hazardous Waste Rules, 2008

Correct answer

A. E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022

Explanation

The correct answer is the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The theme of this edition of the campaign was the effective collection, segregation and disposal of electronic waste, so the central public sector enterprises and organisations under the Ministry of Power identified the e-waste generated at their establishments and handled it in the manner these rules require. Option B refers to municipal solid waste and is not the framework named for e-waste here. Option C deals with plastic waste, which was not the subject of this campaign head. Option D concerns hazardous waste in general and is likewise not the rule set applied. Candidates should also remember the linked achievements: 342 cleanliness drives, 2,51,757 square feet of space freed, and revenue of 15,74,20,231 rupees from scrap and e-waste.
