Waste matter from domestic establishments

Explanation:
Understanding what counts as sewage: Sewage is the wastewater produced in homes—human waste and used water from toilets, sinks, baths, and washing. It is the waste matter that is collected in sewer systems and treated before being discharged. The other options don’t fit this idea: rock is natural solid material, run-off is rainwater that flows over land carrying pollutants, and sanitation refers to the facilities and services that keep places hygienic, not the waste itself.
