Question

The aerobic decomposition of sulfurous organic matter gives

• A. Nitrites and water
• B. Carbon dioxide and water
• C. Sulfates and water
• D. Nitrogen and Ammonia

Hint:

Aerobic decomposition of sulfur-containing compounds converts sulfur into sulfate, which is a less harmful form compared to its organic or hydrogen sulfide state.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- During aerobic decomposition, sulfur-containing organic matter is oxidized to form sulfates (SO4), and water is produce(D) 
- This process is part of the sulfur cycle in which sulfur compounds are converted to less harmful forms like sulfates. 
Conclusion: The aerobic decomposition of sulfurous organic matter produces sulfates and water, as given by option (C).
