Solution

The correct option is A True
While plastics are not toxic in quite the same way as poisonous chemicals, they nevertheless present a major hazard to seabirds, fish, and other marine creatures. As they are non-biodegradable, when they are dumped into the water bodies, they tend to stay there for a long period of time and cause a lot of problems for the aquatic life. For example, plastic fishing lines and other debris can strangle or choke fish.
So, the statement is true.
