6y ago#1This is a bit of an odd MCQ and would probably relate to the analysis of financial statements but even then it still appears more relevant to one of the other papers. I'd go with b) as if the waste it disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner then this will mean more recycling being done.
Thanks
