Buying a computer from a retailer who will dispose of your old computer properly ensures that the computer will be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. This helps reduce the amount of electronic waste generated.

Option B is not a valid strategy because selling old computers can lead to them being improperly disposed of or ending up in landfills. Option D is not a valid strategy because replacing a computer that still functions well contributes to electronic waste and consumes resources unnecessarily.
