Zinc: sheets of galvanized steel or zinc that are fabricated in smooth or wavy sheets. There exists the possibility that you will find that a dwelling has tiles, but that these are only decorative, and under these there are zinc sheets; if this is the case, mark this option.
Fibrolite, Ricalite, or asbestos (fiber cement): this is of the same material as Fibrolite or Ricalite (and other brands).
Natural material (palm, straw, woody grass, and others): this includes materials extracted from nature such as palm, straw, woody grass, and others, used according to geographic or cultural characteristics.

Waste material: this includes waste materials of short duration and in general in bad condition, like cardboard, old cans, bags, etc.
Other (clay tile, etc.): this includes other materials like clay tiles, concrete slabs or plates.
