Solution

The correct option is D Polythene bag

Rain, wind, ice and temperature changes break the tough, hard parent material or rocks. This process is very slow but it steadily continues. Such broken parts are further withered by same factors as well as some other factors as acids etc. Therefore, wind, water and the Sun are involved in soil formation.

Polythene bags are not involved in soil formation. However, plastic bags are threat to environment, because these bags are non-degradable, i.e., do not decay and thus, do not lead to soil formation.
