Statement I : Non-biodegradable wastes are generated by the thermal power plants.

Statement II : Bio-degradable detergents leads to eutrophication.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below:

  • A
    Both statement I and statement II are false
  • B
    Statement I is true but statement II is false
  • C
