Why should plastic cups be replaced by paper cups for selling tea in public places?

Correct option is D

​The correct answer is (d) Paper cups are biodegradable

Explanation: Paper cups are disposable cups made out of paper, hence they are biodegradable.

Information Booster: Biodegradable materials are materials that can be broken down by microorganisms into natural substances, such as water and carbon dioxide:

• Examples: Wood, paper, food scraps, wool, cotton, animal waste, and egg shells
• Benefits: Reduce waste and environmental impact, don't harm ecosystems
• Process: Microorganisms and abiotic factors break down complex substances into simpler organic matter, which eventually fade into the soil
