The correct answer is (d) reduce, recycle, reuse.
Explanation:
Reduce:
This means minimizing the amount of waste generated by consuming less and using resources efficiently.
Recycle:
This involves processing used materials to be used again as new products, thus reducing the need for raw materials.
Reuse:
This means using items repeatedly instead of discarding them after single use.
Why other options are incorrect:
(a) recycle, regenerate, reuse:
While “regenerate” can refer to restoring natural resources, it’s not typically part of the “three Rs” concept.
(b) reduce, regenerate, reuse:
“Regenerate” is not as directly related to waste reduction and conservation as “recycle” and “reuse”.
(c) reduce, reuse, redistribute:
Although redistributing resources can have a positive impact, the core concept of the three Rs focuses on minimizing waste generation through reduction, reuse, and recycling.
