Correct Answer is (D) >800° C

An incinerator should operate in the temperature range of 800° to 1200°C when medical waste is incinerated. Toxic fumes including furans and dioxins are emitted at temperatures below 600°C if polyvinyl chloride or certain other materials are incinerated. The gas-residence period should not be less than one second.
