A: Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on size. B: They are inexpensive and durable, and as a result, levels of plastic production by humans are high. C: However, the chemical structure of most plastics renders them resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as a result, they are slow to degrade. D: Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags, and microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans.

Correct Answer DABC

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. DABC.

  • D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject 'plastic pollution' and explains it. D also informs that they affect the Earth's environment adversely 
  • A further categorizes plastics that can pollute the environment, so, A can be seen as a continuation of D. DA is a pair.
  • B mentions positive points about plastics, and C with the word 'however' denotes its demerits, so C must follow B.
