Solution
The correct options are
A Fertilisers and Pesticides
B Radioactive wastes dumped underground
C Deforestation
Deforestation and landfills having non-biodegradable material and radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants buried deep inside the soil cause a lot of soil pollution. Many other indiscriminate human activities also contribute to soil pollution. Excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides in agricultural fields leads to the degradation of soil quality. Synthetic fertilisers and pesticides introduce very harmful compounds into the environment, contaminating soil, air, surface and underground water.
