sorry its d

The correct answer is D) recycle iron and steel.

To arrive at this answer, you can use a process of elimination.

Option A) Creating a light industry usually refers to establishing small-scale manufacturing operations. However, ship breaking typically involves disassembling old ships rather than creating new products.

Option B) Providing work for unemployed city residents might be a possible outcome of ship breaking, but it is not the primary purpose of the activity.

Option C) Assisting cottage industries refers to supporting small, home-based businesses. Ship breaking is not directly related to this objective.

That leaves us with D) recycling iron and steel. This is the main purpose of ship breaking. Old ships are dismantled, and the materials such as iron and steel are recycled and repurposed for various purposes. Ship breaking helps to conserve resources, reduce waste, and provide a sustainable source of materials.
