Answer: (B)

Green in death care means adopting eco-friendly practices that reduce environmental impact across the end-of-life process, using products that are free of toxic materials, are biodegradable, or minimize energy use. This definition centers on sustainability rather than aesthetics, specific containers, or regulatory rules. It reflects choices like non-toxic or alternative preservatives instead of traditional embalming, biodegradable caskets or shrouds, and practices that lower energy and resource consumption, such as low-emission cremation options or green burial.
