Solution
The correct option is B
Tina
- About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered.
- All forms of pollution eventually make their way to the water.
- Air pollution settles onto lakes and oceans. Land pollution can seep into an underground stream, then into a river, and finally into the ocean. Thus, waste dumped in a vacant lot can eventually pollute a water supply. It can cause contamination of drinking water – thereby contributing to waterborne illnesses.
