b. bag yard waste each time you mow or prune.

c. use disposable dishes and cutlery at parties.

Explanation:

To reduce landfill waste, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Reusable grocery bags reduce single - use plastic bags, which are waste sent to landfills.
• Option B: Bagging yard waste (like in plastic bags) adds to landfill waste as the bags and the yard waste (if not composted) go to landfills.
• Option C: Disposable dishes and cutlery are single - use and increase waste sent to landfills.
• Option D: Broken electronics should be recycled, not put in garbage as they add to landfill waste.

So the correct option is the one that reduces waste generation.

Answer:

A. Use a reusable grocery bag each time you shop.
