Solution

The correct option is C Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, Recycle, Recover
Applying the 5 R's to deal with plastics and recycling strategies can positively impact the outcome significantly reducing the amount of waste generated.
In the 5R hierarchy, remember to treat recycling as a last resort after attempting to refuse, reduce and reuse.
But when all the four attempts are unsuccessful, we can go for 'recover'.
