The correct option is A a) 1 and 2 only
Micro plastics
Micro plastics are extremely small pieces of plastic debris in the environment, resulting from the disposal and breakdown of consumer products and industrial waste. Micro plastics include things like films, fibers, fragments and pellets.
These pellets are made of polyethylene and polypropylene, and a few of them were unidentified polymers. Due to the long residence time of micro plastics in the sea and on the beaches, they tend to adsorb various pollutants, and may act as vector transferring toxic chemicals from the environment to the marine organisms.
