Question

Which of the following is a cause of Ganga river pollution?

• A. Industrialization
• B. Volcanic eruptions
• C. Forest fires
• D. All of above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Industrialization

Ganga river is one of the ten most endangered rivers in the world. In many places, because of high pollution, aquatic life cannot survive in it. The increased pollution is due to increased population and industrialization near the banks of Ganga. These have led to a steep rise in the release of wastes into the river, thus contaminating it.

So, the correct answer is option A.
