How is plastic made A Coal and natural gas are broken down from long chains into smaller compounds we call plastic B Coal and natural gas or chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic C oil and natural gas are broken down from long chains into smaller compounds we call plastic D oil and natural gas are chemically broken down at the small compounds that combine to form plastic

1 answer

The correct option that accurately describes how plastics are made is:

D: oil and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.

This option effectively conveys that the process involves the chemical breakdown of hydrocarbons derived from oil and natural gas into smaller molecules (monomers), which then polymerize to form plastics.
