Explanation
Option C is correct: The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, include detailed guidelines under Schedule I regarding the 'Specifications for Sanitary Landfills'. This schedule provides exact and elaborate criteria for site selection, such as maintaining a distance of at least 100 meters from rivers, 200 meters from state and national highways, 500 meters from habitations, and 20 km from airports.
Option A is incorrect: The rules mandate waste generators to segregate waste into three categories: Bio-degradable (wet waste), Non-biodegradable (dry waste), and Domestic Hazardous Waste (such as diapers, napkins, and cleaning agents).
Option B is incorrect: The rules have a broad scope and apply to every urban local body, outgrowths in urban agglomerations, census towns, notified industrial townships, areas under the control of Indian Railways, airports, airbases, ports, special economic zones, and places of religious or historical importance.
Option D is incorrect: There is no restriction in the rules prohibiting the movement of waste across district lines. In fact, the rules encourage the development of regional sanitary landfills to be shared by multiple local bodies for better waste management efficiency.
