The only statement here that could be used to describe biomedical waste is “waste that is saturated to the point of dripping blood or body fluids contaminated with blood”. Biomedical waste is, by definition, something that has been contaminated with bodily fluids, blood, or any kind of identifiable body parts (for example, amputated parts). However, this kind of waste can be either liquid or solid.

Blood is the perfect example of a biomedical waste. There are some diseases that can be transmitted via blood, so it’s important to dispose of it properly. Bodily fluids from corpses and the blood from a corpse are two examples of when clothing could become a biomedical waste; the blood and fluids could easily absorb into the clothing.
