• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, found in the 1980s, was a large patch in the Pacific Ocean that consists of microparticles of garbage that came from North America, Japan, Eastern Asia and dumping from ships. These wastes could not get degraded and formed a small particle-like substance that got clumped in one place. The garbage patch was claimed to be as large as the state of Texas.
