Solution

The correct option is B Recycle

Recycling focuses on four categories of products: metal, plastic, glass, and paper.

It helps in conserving finite resources like metal and paper.

It also helps in generating less waste as raw materials from waste products are used to create new products.

Making recycled products is less expensive and uses less energy than manufacturing new products.
