D. All of the above

Explanation:

An hazardous waste is a material that can pose potential threats to public health or the environment. These materials have been tested to have the following hazardous characteristics:

  • ignitability-flammable material. For example where used tires burn, harmful gases and heavy metals are released to the environment causing harm.
  • corrosivity -materials that rust to harmful items.
  • reactivity-materials that can be explosive when exposed to heat. For example an antifreeze
  • toxicity - they are poisonous. For example used batteries can start leaking to release poisonous fluids

All the above listed wastes can be classified as hazardous wastes.
