Solution

The correct option is A Noise pollution caused due to proximity with the railway station
Sound is measured in decibels (dB). Sources of sound that exceeds 80 dB harm the human ears. Noise pollution can lead to memory loss. It can affect the attention level and reading skills. It can lead to high blood pressure and stress. It adversely affects wildlife, and they migrate from noisy areas. Not only land but noise pollution also affects aquatic life. Due to ships, sonar devices and seismic tests, the ocean has turned noisy.
