Answer: Option A

Explanation: The purpose of liner in a sanitary landfill is to prevent leaching. The liner is made of a membrane having low permeability. This is laid down under the sanitary landfill sites.

It is put under the landfill to prevent the leaching of sanitary water into the nearby water bodies, which can cause spoilage of the local water that is used for various purpose.
