Solution

The correct option is C Litter is produced
Option A) more is litter is incorrect grammatically.
Option B) litter was produced is wrong because the sentence is talking about something that happens in the present. So 'was', being in the past tense, is not the right word here.
Option D) litter is being produced is incorrect because the original sentence states the verb 'throw' which is in the simple present tense form. So we require the same tense for the rest of the sentence.
The correct answer is option C) litter is produced.
