Explanation:

A trickling filter is a wastewater treatment system that removes organic matter from wastewater. It is an Aerobic attached growth system

        Parameters             Standard rate trickling filter High-rate trickling filter
Hydraulic loading rate (M.L/ hectare/day)
10-40 100-400

Organic Loading rate  (Kg BOD/m3/day)

0.11-0.37 0.37-1.85

Depth (m)

1.5-3.0 1.0-2.0
 Recirculation Ratio 0 1.0-4.0

 

From the above table, we can see that the most suitable option will be option A ie 110 - 330 ML per hectare per day
