Many plastic carry bags are made of polymers that do not break down easily in natural environments. They can persist for decades,posing hazards to wildlife and clogging drainage systems. The stem points to this persistent pollution problem,so non biodegradable waste is the correct classification. Option B is therefore appropriate.

Option A:
Recyclable paper decomposes relatively quickly and can be reprocessed; it does not match persistent plastic litter.

Option B:
Non biodegradable wastes resist decomposition and accumulate in landfills and ecosystems; plastic carry bags are a classic example.

Option C:
Organic waste is biodegradable material like food scraps; plastics are not organic waste in this sense.

Option D:
Easily decomposable materials break down quickly; plastics show the opposite behavior.
