Question

which of the following statements about recycling electronic waste is true? (1 point) exporting electronic waste is part of a safe recycling process. minerals can be extracted from recycled electronics. electronic waste is recycled using the same process as plastic and metal. over 60 percent of electronics waste worldwide is recycled safely.

Explanation:

• "Exporting electronic waste is part of a safe recycling process" is false. Exporting e - waste often leads to improper handling in countries with lax regulations, causing environmental and health hazards.
• "Minerals can be extracted from recycled electronics" is true. Electronics contain valuable minerals like gold, silver, copper, etc., and recycling processes can extract these minerals.
• "Electronic waste is recycled using the same process as plastic and metal" is false. E - waste recycling involves specialized processes to handle components like circuit boards, batteries (with hazardous materials), which are different from general plastic or metal recycling.
• "Over 60 percent of electronics waste worldwide is recycled safely" is false. In reality, a large portion of e - waste is not recycled safely, with estimates showing that only a small fraction is properly recycled globally.

Answer:

B. Minerals can be extracted from recycled electronics.
