Solution

The correct option is A Run off water
Non-point sources are scattered and do not have any specific location for discharging pollutants into particular water bodies. Examples of non-point sources are run-off from fields, lawns and garden. Unlike point sources, these sources are difficult to monitor and treated to remove the pollutants.
