Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is C. plastic

Explanation:

Plastics are made from crude oil. These oils are rich in carbon which is required to make plastic. So plastic is the polymer that is made up of monomers of carbon-containing compounds.

Crude oil non- renewable resource and is depleting very fastly therefore if all oil supply is depleted then a new material will need to be used to produce plastic.  

Hundreds of variety of plastics can be made by combining various monomers in different arrangements. These plastics do not react easily with any substance because they are inert chemically so it is difficult to destroy or degrade plastics.
