The correct answer is C because it accurately matches the specific industrial waste products used as fuel in these power plants.

I. M/s Gowthami Solvents Oil Limited uses Rice husk as its primary feed material for power generation. II. M/s KM. Sugar Mills utilizes Distillery spent wash, a byproduct of the sugar and ethanol distillation process. III. M/s Satia Paper Mills employs Black liquor, which is a significant waste byproduct from the kraft process when digesting pulpwood into paper. IV.
