This choice aligns with the principle of the "Three R's" of sustainability: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. By manufacturers taking back electronics for remanufacturing, repair, or recycling, it reduces the amount of waste generated and promotes the reuse of materials, which is more sustainable than disposing of the e-waste in landfills or burning it. It also promotes responsible production and consumption, which is another principle of sustainability. Choices A, B, and C do not align with any of the principles of sustainability, and D only aligns with the principle of Responsible Production and Consumption to a very limited extent.
