- Correct answer: Option 3, "it"

- The word "rubbish" is a singular, non-count noun.

- "It" is used to refer to singular, non-count nouns.

- Appropriate because "rubbish" cannot be pluralized.

- Option 1, "them"

- Used for plural nouns.

- Incorrect here as "rubbish" is not plural.

- Option 2, "this"

- Refers to something definite or specific.

- Could imply closer examination or distinction, but "rubbish" usually doesn't work with "this" in this context.

- Option 4, "its"

- Possessive form, indicating ownership.

- Not suitable for this context as "rubbish" doesn't possess anything here.
