Correct Answer: Both I and II are correct


Solution : The correct option is Both I and II are correct.

During the natural decomposition process aided by microbes, plant and animal waste, including kitchen leftovers, can be composted to create nutrient-rich manure. Conversely, vermicomposting is a particular kind of composting where redworms—like Eisenia fetida —are very important. These specialised earthworms are added to kitchen waste during the vermicomposting process to help break down organic matter.
