Question

Animals such as cows, buffaloes and goats die of eating plastic wastes, this is the impact of _______________.
A. Population increase
B. Waste accumulation on earth
C. Urbanization
D. Deforestation

Answer 1

Hint: It is already recognized that garbage disposal sites have both physical and toxicological effects on animal life. Most definitely, it is the most visible form of pollution.

Complete Answer:
Option A. Population increase: Our climate is imposing an enormous strain on the exponential growth of the human population. Although developed countries continue to pollute the atmosphere and deplete their wealth, developing countries are under - economic strain to compete, and their industrial developments are also detrimental. The impact of population increase on animals whose homes are being destroyed. Hence this option is incorrect.

Option B. Waste accumulation on earth: Accumulation of waste can cause significant harm to both freshwater and marine aquatic life. Pesticides that run off agricultural land and industrial and household waste that is improperly disposed of in water bodies are two types of waste that cause the most harm to marine life. The impact of waste accumulation on earth on animals is that they are dying because they are consuming plastics. Hence this option is correct.

Option C. Urbanization: The reverse effect of wildlife on humans is produced by urbanization. The homes of several animals are destroyed as new homes are built for humans, and the organisms are driven away or the population faces extinction. The risk of environmental threats like flash flooding can be magnified by urban growth. The impact of urbanization on animals is that their homes are being destroyed. Hence this option is incorrect.

Option D. Deforestation: Sadly, deforestation kills ecosystems, which makes it very difficult for animals to survive. Forests are a source of animal food and shelter and if there are no forests left to live; they are at risk of being hunted, starving, or unable to live long enough to reproduce. Deforestation destroys habitats, which makes the survival of animals very difficult. Hence this option is incorrect. Therefore, the consequence of the accumulation of waste on earth is that animals such as cows, buffaloes and goats die from consuming plastic waste.

Hence, Option B. Waste accumulation on earth is the correct answer.

Note: When an animal eats a plastic item, the item injures its digestive tract and can cause stomach ulcers, decreased health problems with growth and, finally, premature death.
 Due to waste accumulation on land and water bodies, multiple diseases propagate on an epidemic scale. These diseases are spread by vectors, such as flies, mosquitoes, rodents and pet animals. For such vectors, waste is a breeding ground. There is also an immediate need to handle waste management in an appropriate way.
