Question

Non-biodegradable materials:

• A. Cannot be burnt
• B. Cannot be degraded by bacteria
• C. Undergoes decomposition
• D. Cannot be made from artificial methods

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cannot be degraded by bacteria

Non-biodegradable materials are substances that remain in the environment for a long time without getting decomposed by natural agents such as microbes.
These include plastics, glass, rubbers, etc., which are made by artificial methods. Plastics can, however, be burnt.
Biodegradable wastes are ones that get degraded to harmless substances by decomposition.
