Resource extraction, Manufacturing process, Packaging, Distribution (transportation), Use of the product, Recycling, Disposal at end of useful life.
Explanation
## Step 1:The process of "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)" considering a paper cup, follows a distinct chronological order. It helps us immensely to understand the different phases a product like a paper cup goes through starting from resource extraction going up to its disposal or end of life management. ## Step 2:The necessary phases in the life cycle assessment are:### - Resource extraction: where raw materials are extracted for the manufacturing process of the paper cup.### - Manufacturing process: in which these raw materials are processed to form the actual product, the paper cup.### - Packaging: This is where the actual product is packaged for transportation.### - Distribution or transportation: The packaged product is transported to various outlets from where it will be purchased by consumers.### - Use of the product: The consumption phase where a person actually uses the product.### - Recycle: This phase involves the post consumption processing of the paper cup, possibly recycling it for additional usability.### - Disposal at the end of useful life: The final phase in which the paper cup is discarded when it is no longer re-usable.## Step 3:One of the options correctly follows the ordered list mentioned above, that is ; Resource extraction, Manufacturing process, Packaging, Distribution (transportation), Use of the product, Recycling and Disposal at end of useful life.
