According to the provided information, how much of the total waste does radioactive and medical waste represent by volume?

94%
5%
1%
Less than 0.1%

The correct answer is: Less than 0.1%

Radioactive and medical waste only represent a small portion of the total waste by volume. Option A, 94%, is too high of a percentage and would leave little room for other types of waste. Option B, 5%, is also too high and would still result in a significant amount of waste from other sources. Option C, 1%, is closer to the correct answer, but still not low enough to accurately represent the small amount of radioactive and medical waste. Option D, less than 0.1%, is the most accurate representation of the small amount of waste contributed by radioactive and medical sources.
