The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Since usage of petroleum-based plastic is harmful to the environment, a polymer called polylactic acid, made using micro-organisms to convert cornstarch into a resin, is used to preserve yogurt. The resulting polymer is used to replace rigid petroleum-based plastic used in yogurt containers and water bottles and is environment-friendly. It is an application of green chemistry.Hence, the correct option is (A).
