Composting materials can originate from which source?

Explanation:
Composting relies on microorganisms breaking down organic waste into a stable soil amendment. Sewage sludge is the organic solids produced by wastewater treatment and, when properly treated to meet safety standards, can be blended into compost or used as a biosolid soil amendment. The other options are inorganic materials that do not biodegrade in a compost pile—plastic bottles, glass, and metal—which should be recycled or disposed of separately rather than composted.
