Solution

The correct option is A Paints
  • Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, colour, or provide texture to objects.
  • Soil pollution is defined as the presence of toxic chemicals (pollutants or contaminants) in soil, in high enough concentrations to pose a risk to human health and/or the ecosystem.
  • Paints consist of heavy metal pollutants which when mixed with soil causes soil pollution.
  • Hence Paint is the industrial sources of soil pollution.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Paints'.
