Among the options listed, **A. Woodcuttings** generally take the longest to decompose. Wood has a dense structure and can take several years to break down naturally in the environment.
In comparison:
- **B. Food products** and **C. Vegetable peels** typically decompose relatively quickly, often within weeks to months.
- **D. Eggshells** also break down fairly quickly, usually within a few months, especially when crushed.
Therefore, if woodcuttings are finely cut, it may help speed up their decomposition process, but they still take significantly longer to decompose than the other options listed.
