Solution

The correct option is A Roads runoff
Non-point sources of pollution are often termed ‘diffuse’ pollution and refer to those inputs and impacts which occur over a wide area and are not easily attributed to a single source.

Non-point sources include water coming from fields as runoff, roads and streets directly goes to river bodies polluting the water and degrade its quality.

Option A is correct.
