Pouring used grease down the sink could clog pipes, and contaminate the water system.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s a common misconception that pouring grease down the drain is okay if you run hot water and pour dish soap after it. In reality, grease should never go down the drain. Even if it’s hot and easy to pour out of the pan, it will eventually cool and solidify somewhere in your plumbing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within a few minutes, the grease cools down and solidifies in your pipes. This solid mass acts as a trap for other debris flowing down the pipes and can cause a massive blockage. Eventually, you may notice the kitchen sink draining slowly or not at all due to completely clogged pipes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Do not pour cooking fats, oils and grease (FOG) down any drains or toilets. FOG will clog sewer pipes, which can then cause costly sewer overflows and basement backups.
