Question

which environmental benefit is common to both incineration and recycling?
a both conserve water and fuel resources.
b both reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
c both prevent pollution by reclaiming natural resources.
d both cut the amount of toxins being released into the air.

Explanation:

Incineration burns waste instead of sending it to land - fills, and recycling processes waste materials to be reused, reducing the waste going to landfills. Incineration doesn't necessarily conserve water and fuel resources, and it can release toxins into the air. Recycling may not prevent pollution by reclaiming natural resources in the same sense as the option implies, and incineration is not known for cutting air - toxin release.

Answer:

B. Both reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
