II. Eyeglass lenses

III. Car tyres

How many of them contain plastic?

  1. A.Only one
  2. B.Only two
  3. C.All the three
  4. D.None
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: C. All the three

Cigarette butts contain cellulose acetate, a type of plastic, which makes them a significant source of plastic pollution. Eyeglass lenses are commonly made from plastics like polycarbonate or high-index plastics, chosen for their durability and optical properties. Car tyres are manufactured using synthetic rubber, which is a polymer, and often incorporate other plasticizers and reinforcing agents that contribute to their plastic content.
