This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Products are designed so that they can be easily reused or recycled after use.

The Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) concept is a design philosophy that views materials used in industrial and commercial processes as nutrients circulating in healthy, safe metabolisms.

Under this approach, products are deliberately designed from the outset so that, once their useful life ends, they can be easily disassembled, reused, or recycled back into new products rather than becoming waste.

This creates a continuous cycle of material use, in contrast to the traditional 'cradle-to-grave' model where products end up in landfills.

Therefore, the correct answer is that products are designed so that they can be easily reused or recycled after use.
