Answer:

C. Biodegradable water bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steel fuel bottles release fourteen times more greenhouse gases in production, but will not leach chemicals in landfills.

Glass milk bottles, on the other hand, take about one million years to fully decompose and possibly more in landfills. However, they do not leach chemicals and therefore are very recyclable-friendly like steel bottles.

Plastic soda bottles kill around 1.1 million sea creatures yearly and deposit 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere each year. They also leach chemicals into the soil, leading to health issues for both humans and other organisms.

Hope this was helpful!!
