Solution

The correct option is C Humans
Non-biodegradable pollutants refer to toxic pollutants that are not degraded or decomposed naturally into less harmful compounds. Humans are the primary source of producing non-biodegradable pollutants. These pollutants include heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury and lead, polythene, synthetic fibres and DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane).
So, the correct answer is 'Humans'.
