Solution

The correct option is D reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce, reuse, recycle is the slogan around which whole waste management works. It involves steps of segregating waste and reducing them by the method such as "composting" then bringing into use some waste articles in one or other forms and the last step recycling so that the waste could be brought into use once again. This helps in diminishing the carbon footprint and waste effluent in the environment.
