Solution

The correct option is C Polythene
Non-Biodegradable wastes are those that cannot break down or degrade for many years. These are waste that cannot change into manure and they pile up causing pollution. The burning of these fuels causes more pollution in the environment. The non-biodegradable wastes become useful when they can be recycled.
Examples of non-biodegradable wastes are plastics, glasses, metals, toxic chemicals, toxins, plastic products like plastic bags, grocery bags, plastic containers, and plastic water bottles are also non-biodegradable.
So the answer is option D 'Polythene'.
