Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Research shows that plastic can absorb chemicals during waste management - after its disposal and before collection. The chemical may be hard to eliminate completely during recycling hence may be a source for contamination of food in food packaging after recycling. The risk for food contamination is definitely higher in second-hand plastic than in pristine plastic.
