What problem may result from throwing plastic into a river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Damage to water and aquatic life

The governing concept is environmental pollution caused by improper waste disposal. Plastic does not readily decompose, so material thrown into a river can remain in the water for a long time, reduce water quality, block flow, and break into smaller particles. Fish, birds, and other aquatic organisms may swallow it, become trapped in it, or lose suitable habitat. Toxic substances associated with plastic can also enter food chains. Thus option A is correct: river pollution can damage both the water and aquatic life. Options B and C state the opposite of the likely environmental result, and option D has no scientific basis. Preventing littering, reusing materials, and collecting plastic properly reduce this problem.
