Answer: C

Explanation:

To achieve the Materials and Resources Credit for Building Product Disclosure and Optimization – Material Ingredients, a product can demonstrate material ingredient optimization through the GreenScreen v1.2 Benchmark. This method involves a screening process to assess the hazards of chemicals used in products and aims to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment1.
