Solution

The correct option is C
River at it's source has high BOD.

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD, also called biological oxygen demand) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed (i.e., demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. Any river at it's source does not contain high BOD levels.
