Question

Choose the incorrect statement about plastics.

• A. Plastics are widely used.
• B. Plastics are light and attractive.
• C. Plastics are biodegradable.
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Plastics are biodegradable.

Plastics are lightweight, strong, and durable materials. They are cheaper than metals and therefore, are widely used in industries and household articles. They can be moulded into different shapes and sizes and can be of different colours and hence, they look attractive.

Plastics are non-biodegradable as they cannot be decomposed by decomposers (earthworms, microbes, etc.)

So, the correct option is C.
