Answer:

D. All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Hazardous waste is defined as waste that comprises organic or inorganic components or compounds that may have a negative influence on human health or the environment due to the waste's intrinsic physical, chemical, or toxicological characteristics.

Correct Option Is D. All of the above.

Liquids, solids, and enclosed gases can all be hazardous waste. Hazardous substances have one or more of the following characteristics: they are combustible, corrosive, lethal, or reactive. They can be waste from manufacturing operations, discarded used materials, or unused commercial products like cleaning fluids (solvents) or insecticides that have been discarded.
