Answer: B (I think)

Explanation: Pretty much everything else is reusable and/or not normally just thrown out. Also, washing machines and ACs tend to break a LOT depending on where you live and who you buy them from. Also maintenence. Most people don't take proper care of them, then try to fix them, then cause irreperable damage and just throw them out.
