Which of the following principal of green chemistry suggests use of chemicals made from plant based sources?

Options

  1. AMinimisation of steps in process
  2. BDesign for degradation
  3. CUse of renewable feed stocks
  4. DReduce number of derivatives

Correct answer

C. Use of renewable feed stocks

Step-by-step solution

Use of renewable feed stocks is the green chemistry principle advocating for raw materials derived from replenishable sources like plants, rather than depletable resources. This directly contrasts with options describing process minimization, degradation design, or derivative reduction, which address efficiency and waste management rather than material origin.
