How is plastic made?

1. Coal and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.

2. Oil and natural gas are broken down from long chains into the smaller compounds we call plastic.

3. Coal and natural gas are broken down from long chains into the smaller compounds we call plastic.

4. Oil and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.

The correct answer is either option 2 or option 4. Plastic is primarily made from oil and natural gas, which are broken down into smaller compounds through a chemical process. These smaller compounds then combine to form the plastic material.

The correct answer is:

4. Oil and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.
