Answer 1

The correct option is A

Air pollution

One of the major sources of air pollution is motor vehicles. These vehicles produce air pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, etc which when inhaled causes the problem of intense coughing. Soil pollution causes diseases like a neuromuscular blockage, depression of the central nervous system, headaches, nausea, fatigue, eye irritation and skin rash, etc. Water pollution causes diseases like jaundice, cholera, dysentery, etc. Noise pollution causes diseases like hypertension, high stress levels, tinnitus, hearing loss, etc.
