- C. 4

Explanation
The largest item which is recycled is newspaper and in its recycling process the release of chlorine or other bleaching acids and organic solvents is significantly less as compared to formation of these compounds during the processing of virgin newspaper.To improve the whiteness of the recycled newspaper it is blended with the virgin newspaper or sometimes treated with peroxides and hydrosulphites. In recycling process the fibre of the newspaper becomes shorter so it can be recycled again and again for five times.
