Solution

The correct option is A Dumping of industrial waste into rivers.
Pollution in rivers is primarily caused by the release of waste chemicals and raw untreated sewage into rivers. This is particularly a problem in the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. Excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides can seep into rivers causing pollution.
