C. The glass of the tube can easily break and cause serious injury. AND

A. The materials within the cathode ray tube are harmful.

Explanation:

The first step is to find a local company who can take the EWaste, usually they do it for free or for a small transportation fee. This company can handle all the recycling proccess and give the harmful materials a correct disposal.

Anyhow its important to make the internal transport carefully using protection to avoid break the tube, because inside contain lead. Lead is a very harmful material to breath and touch.
