Explanation:

Electronic waste (e - waste) is often shipped to other countries for disposal or recycling. If a country has higher demand for recycled materials (like metals from e - waste), it may import e - waste. Also, if a country has less strict environmental regulations (compared to the country of origin of the e - waste), it may be a destination for e - waste shipment.

Answer:

A. Recycled e - waste is in higher demand in other countries.
B. There are less stringent regulations on e - waste disposal in other countries.
