after man first walked on the moon, we learned many new things about space.

Explanation:

The thesis statement lists three reasons why plastic pollution is a problem: destroying animal wildlife, wasting money, and negatively affecting human health. For Body Paragraph 1, the topic sentence should relate to the first reason. The option "First of all, plastic pollution can cause the destruction of animal wildlife" directly addresses the first point in the thesis. The other options are either about sea animals (which is a detail, not a topic sentence for the first body paragraph's main idea) or about space exploration (irrelevant to the essay's topic).

Answer:

First of all, plastic pollution can cause the destruction of animal wildlife.
