Answer:

2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

These two options show true effects and facts of marine debris, as plastic is one of the largest contributors and number 4 shows that places are attempting to mitigate the effect. However, 1 and 3 are both false claims and therefore incorrect displays of marine debris' effect
