Solution

The correct option is D Industrial effluents
Water pollution occurs by both natural factors and human activities.

Soil erosion, landslides, volcanic eruption, decay and decomposition of plants and animals etc are the natural sources through which water gets polluted.

Discharing of industrial effluents, off-shore drilling, discharge of nuclear waste etc are the human activities through which water gets polluted.
