Solution

The correct option is C

Plastics


The non-biodegradable materials have problems in disposal. Newer technologies are being invented where the non-biodegradable materials like plastic and styrofoam etc are added with the coal tar which is traditionally used for making roads. Such mixing gives the added advantage of making the roads water resistant. It also reduces the wear and tear of roads.
