Why is plastic waste in forests dangerous for wildlife?

Correct answer: Because it can harm food and habitat

The direct answer is A, because plastic can harm food and habitat. Plastic waste remains in the environment for a long time and can injure, choke, or be swallowed by animals. It can also cover soil, block water flow, spoil feeding places, and damage the quality of habitats. Step by step: plastic enters the forest; an animal may mistake it for food or become trapped in it; broken plastic can pollute soil and water; polluted habitat can reduce food and safe living space; therefore plastic is dangerous to wildlife. Option A correctly states this connected harm. Option B is wrong because plastic does not grow trees. Option C is wrong because plastic does not make all animals safe. Option D is wrong because plastic generally contaminates water rather than purifying it. The safe action is to reduce, reuse, collect, and dispose of plastic properly. Memory cue: plastic in nature means danger to animals, soil, and water.
