Disposable plastic plates should not be used because its waste is non-biodegradable and cannot be broken down into its base compounds by micro-organisms, air, moisture or soil in a reasonable amount of time. Non-biodegradable waste is an environmental concern, as it threatens to overwhelm landfills and create disposal problems.
Hence, correct option is $$D$$.
Biodegradable substances are those materials or products that are able to naturally break down or decompose without causing any harm to the environment. Biodegradable substances are generally things that are organic in nature. This means they are substances that are made from things that were living at some point. Examples of biodegradable substances include paper which is made from trees, meat products which come from animals and leather products.
All synthetic polymers are not biodegradable substances. Most of the synthetic polymers, including polythene and polypropene, are non-biodegradable.
