Answer:

Option B. The statement "Is the filter itself, and not the paint it contains, that makes it hazardous waste" is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the filters present inside paint boxes or buckets may be dangerous as they have the capacity to burn or to give off certain vapors that can ignite fire when in contact with combustible materials, they are not, by itself considered hazardous waste. It is the paint, specially oil-based paint, that as it name points, is highly inflammable and combustible as every oil is.
