Why is it good to buy Eco-marked products, because ?
(i) These products have lower environmental impact.
(ii) Their production involves the use of non-renewable energy.
(iii) Buying such products makes a commitment to the future environment.
(iv) Products cannot be recycled.
Answer: C
Eco-marked products are good to buy because of (i) and (iii).
The Ecomark scheme, started by the Government of India in 1991, labels consumer products that meet standards for reduced environmental harm. Buying them means choosing goods with a lower environmental impact (i) and expresses a commitment to protecting the future environment (iii).
Statements (ii) and (iv) are the opposite of what the label stands for: eco-labelled products aim to reduce the use of non-renewable resources and favour recyclability. So every option including (ii) or (iv) is wrong.
