Solution

The correct option is D Overuse of pesticides and fertilizers
Treatment of waste is done in such a way that its output is least toxic and least contaminating. Untreated wastes from industries, domestic wastes from households and agricultural wastes like fertilizers and pesticides, all get dumped into water bodies, leading to contamination of water bodies.
