D.
life cycle assessment (LCA).
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to assess the environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life, from raw material extraction through to processing, manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal or recycling. When a manufacturing process replaces a raw material with an alternative that reduces emissions, it is applying principles of LCA. This approach helps in understanding the overall environmental footprint of a product and finding opportunities to reduce negative impacts, such as emissions, by evaluating alternative materials and processes.
