The correct option is D All of these

Plastic sack manufacturers in Bangalore has managed to find the ideal solution for increasing problem of accumulating plastic waste. Ahmed Khan, 57 years old, has been producing a plastic sack for 20 years. About 8 years ago, he realised that plastic waste was a real problem.

Polyblend, a powder of recycled modified plastic, was developed by his company. This mixture is mixed with the bitumen, that is used to lay roads.

In collaboration with RV College of engineering and the Bangalore city corporation, Ahmed Khan proved that mixture of polyblend and bitumen when used to lay roads enhance the bitumen's water repellent properties and help to increase road life by factors of 3.

Using Khan's technique by the year 2002, more than 40 km road in Bangalore has already been laid. At this rate Khan will soon be running short on plastic waste in Bangalore, to produce polyblend.

So, the correct option is 'All of these'
