Solution

The correct option is C

Forest fire


  • A natural source of pollution is created by phenomena of natural origin. Forest fires are usually caused due to combustion of dry leaves by the heat from the sun, lightning, friction produced in between trees, etc.
  • Mining and nuclear reactors are man-made sources of pollution. Oil spill is caused due to the accidental turn over of tankers in the water bodies.
