This is because products are often made with cheaper materials and are not built to last as long as they used to. Additionally, products are often not properly maintained, which can lead to them breaking down sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Option A, &#8220;are degrading,&#8221; is incorrect because it implies that the quality of products is currently degrading.
