Solution

The correct option is B non-point
Non-point sources of water pollution are hard to trace since the pollutants come from various places and accumulate. Therefore, it is hard to pinpoint the exact location of these sources. Point sources are discrete single sources of pollutions. They are easier to trace, identify and easier to manage.
