Solution

The correct option is A Depletion of ground water in the region
The Coca-Cola manufacturing unit in Plachimada led to the depletion of groundwater in this village. This resulted in the local residents relying heavily on the water supplies trucked in daily by the government. When these problems were ignored by the government, the people protested against the company.
