SAT Question for April 3rd

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • In deciding packaging material for their products, yogurt companies consider many factors with respect to environmental impact.
  • Unlike plastic, glass is 100% recyclable in nearly every part of the world, and it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality.
  • Glass is heavier than plastic, so the fuel costs of transporting products are higher.
  • Plastic is less prone to breakage than glass, resulting in less wasted product during shipping.
  • Unlike glass, plastic is permeable to air, so oxygen and other elements degrade the product over a shorter period of time.

The student wants to explain an advantage of using glass over plastic packaging for yogurt containers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
