AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) expired pharmaceuticals. According to MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), the definition of medical waste does not include expired pharmaceuticals. Medical waste under MARPOL includes items such as dialysis wastes (A), pathological wastes (B), and sharps (D), but expired pharmaceuticals are not considered part of the medical waste stream. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are all types of medical waste that are included in the MARPOL definition, which is why they are incorrect for this question.
