3. Coffee Grounds

Explanation

Coffee grounds can be composted because they are organic matter that can decompose and break down into nutrient-rich soil. Composting coffee grounds helps in reducing waste and provides a natural fertilizer for plants. Composting is a process where organic materials, such as food scraps and yard waste, are broken down by microorganisms into a dark, crumbly substance called compost. This compost can then be used to improve soil quality and support plant growth. Therefore, coffee grounds are suitable for composting.

4. Food Waste

Explanation

Compost is the correct answer because it is a process of decomposing organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Composting helps to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills and provides a natural way to recycle organic materials. It is an environmentally friendly method that can be used to improve soil quality and promote plant growth.
