Slat estimates plastics can be eliminated from the oceans in a few years; Wilson thinks plastics are impossible to eliminate from the oceans.

B). Slat deals with the plastic that has already accumulated; Wilson wants to eliminate the use of plastics altogether.

Explanation:

As per the text, the difference in Slat and Wilson's approach to deal with the problem of plastic waste accumulation in the oceans is that 'Slat focuses on dealing with the plastic that has been accumulated already while Wilson aims to eliminate the complete use of plastics altogether.' Slat promotes the 'idea of affixing an array of floating barriers and platforms to the seabed' which reflects that he lays emphasis on dealing with the current waste while Wilson promotes 'the complete restriction on the use of plastic goods so there would be no more plastics to deal with.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
