The correct option is D Water

Radioactive wastes contain radioactive materials that are hazardous to most forms of life and the environment. Some of its effects are:

1) Increasing the chances of cancer occurence.
2) Some tissues in the body being completely destroyed.
3) Changes occuring at a genetic level.

On the other hand, typhoid is a bacterial infection that can lead to a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. It is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi and it is not a result of radioactive pollution.
