(b) Oil spills	(ii) Non-degradable
(c) Detergents	(iii) Degradable soil pollutants
(d) Plastics	(iv) Air pollutants
(e) Domestic wastes	(v) Physical water pollutants

• A. a-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii), (e)-(v)
• B. a-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii), (e)-(iii)
• C. a-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv), (e)-(v)
• D. a-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(v), (e)-(iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is B a-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii), (e)-(iii)

a) Air pollutants are particulate matter such as lead, $C{O}_2$, ozone, etc.

b) Oil spills are physical water pollutants as the oil forms a layer over the water surface disrupting the underwater environment.

c) Detergents are chemical water pollutant as they pollute the water to a great extent. The phosphate content in the detergents cause variety of problems.

d) Plastics are non-degradable materials as they cannot be degraded.

e) Domestic waste are degradable soil pollutants as these can degrade as can be used as manure in agricultural purposes.
