A.
dump the residue into the ocean
B.

C.
burn all the residue
D.
mix the residue with raw material to produce more sugar

Matt can convert the residue into bioethanol .

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The starchy residue of the sugar can be fermented to alcohols as bioethanol to be used as fuel.

The fermentation process is carried out by bacteria Saccharomyces cerevisiae in anaerobic conditions.

In the process of fermentation of starchy residue apart from bioethanol some medical useful compounds and alcholol derivatives were also obtained as by products.

Though used as fuel it has lower energy than gasoline.

Bioethanol is a biodegradable and non-toxic fossil fuel.

The biomass waste of sugar industry is used for making fuel as bioethanol.
