Question

Which of the following is the source of soil pollution?

• A. Oil and fuel dumping
• B. Nuclear wastes
• C. Coal ash
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

When the wastes are disposed of in the ground, there is leaching of the chemicals from the waste. This results in the soil pollution and contamination of the groundwater. The oil and fuel, nuclear wastes and the coal ash are dumped by making pits in the ground. This results in the loss of the fertility and quality of the soil.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
