Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
Both A and B are types of water pollution.
Nutrients pollution:
Some wastewater, fertilisers and sewage contain high levels of nutrients. If they end up in water bodies, they encourage algae and weed growth in the water. This will make the water undrinkable, and even clog filters.
Ground water pollution:
When humans apply pesticides and chemicals to soils, they are washed deep into the ground by rainwater. This gets to underground water, causing pollution underground.
