The correct option is C.
The issue of disposal of waste of nuclear power plants has been a controversial issue for long because of the hazardous effects which these wastes have on human health and the environment. Most of the waste are usually long lived radioactive wastes which can remain active for a very long time and which have detrimental effect on both the environment and the human health.
