Started 9 months ago by Shashank in

A.
recycling all plastic debris in the seabed.
B.
having all consumers change their plastic consumption habits.
C.
completely banning all single-use plastic bags.
D.
passing regulations targeted at producers that generate plastic products.

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

The central idea of the passage is that individuals are not responsible for the ecological disaster of plastic; the plastic problem is the result of a permissive legal framework that has not put the onus on producers of plastic to manage waste (see paragraphs 4 and 5). So, the intervention the author is likely to support is the one mentioned in option 4.
