Question

the plants that now have the pollutant in them must still be disposed of somewhere.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Phytoremediation involves plants taking up pollutants. Once they do, those plants still need proper disposal as the pollutants are now in them. The other options have inaccuracies - waste doesn't "leak" out as plants don't "eat" pollutants in that sense, the process is often slow rather than too fast, and it doesn't typically require a thick plastic liner like some other remediation methods.

Answer:

The plants that now have the pollutant in them must still be disposed of somewhere.
