Solution

The correct option is D Plastic
Non-biodegradable materials are not decomposed by natural factors like micro-organisms, UV radiations, etc. They stay longer and are difficult to degrade.
Jute, cotton and wool are made from natural fibre and are, therefore, biodegradable while plastic is a synthetic polymer and is a non-biodegradable waste.
So, option D is correct
