Option 2 (Wood, Grass, Leather) contains only biodegradable items. Wood and grass are biodegradable, while leather is also biodegradable as it is made from animal hide and will break down over time.

Option 3 (Fruit peels, Lime juice, China clay cup) contains only biodegradable items. Fruit peels are biodegradable as they can decompose naturally. Lime juice is also biodegradable as it is made from organic materials, and the china clay cup is biodegradable as it is made from natural clay.
