Question

which term describes materials that will decompose and become part of the earth?
○ nonbiodegradable
○ biodegradable
○ recyclable
○ disposable

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Nonbiodegradable: Materials that do not decompose, so this is incorrect.
• Biodegradable: Materials that can be broken down by natural processes and become part of the earth, which matches the description.
• Recyclable: Refers to materials that can be processed to be used again, not about decomposition into the earth.
• Disposable: Means something is intended to be used once and then thrown away, not related to decomposition into the earth.

Answer:

B. biodegradable
