Solution

The correct option is B Stock Pollutants
Stock pollutants are those pollutants, towards which the environment has little or no absorptive capacity. E.g. persistent synthetic chemicals, non-biodegradable plastics, and heavy metals. The damage they cause increases as more pollutant is emitted, and persists as the pollutant accumulates.
