What is a potential environmental benefit described for ABC’s process?

• A. Diverting e-waste from landfill reduces environmental damage.
• B. Increases landfill waste.
• C. Requires more energy with no emissions benefits.
• D. Only affects the stock price.

Answer: (A)

The main idea to recognize here is that environmental benefits come from how a process handles waste and resources. Diverting e-waste from landfill means less pollution and fewer hazards leaching into soil and water, while also enabling the recovery of recyclable materials. This supports a cleaner environment and often lowers the need for new raw materials, which can save energy and reduce emissions over time. That makes the described benefit realistic and meaningful.

Increasing landfill waste would worsen environmental impact, so it isn’t a benefit. Claiming the process uses more energy with no emissions benefits contradicts the idea of a positive environmental outcome. Focusing on stock price ignores environmental impact entirely.
