IMO E

Again this is a 3:2 split.. between determine and determines.. "the predominant industries and the regulatory environment" implies that we need to use "determine" i.e. plural..

so u can strike out A,C and D, without even reading the whole sentence..

Now you can strike out B because it uses each state and then refers back to it with "their".. that is wrong..

We are left with choice E

In my opinion, the problem of waste material can be handled by recycling, old products can be used to manufacture new products. It is possible with help of new generation waste recycling equipment.
