Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the process of elimination.

It couldn't be B because oranges are healthy

It couldn't be C because oranges aren't that expensive

It couldn't be D because oranges are sold year round

It couldn't be E because even though they do take around 6 months to decompose, they aren't bad for the environment

That leaves A
