Question

Match List-I with List-II. 

List-I (Type of Pollution)	List-II (Effect)
(A) Point source pollution	(I) Pollution that originates from a specific, identifiable source
(B) Non-point source pollution	(II) Pollution that comes from diffuse sources
(C) Groundwater pollution	(III) Contamination of underground water sources
(D) Surface water pollution	(IV) Pollution of lakes, rivers, and oceans

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• C. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Hint:

Point source is highly localized ("at a point" $\rightarrow$ single pipe), while non-point source is highly dispersed ("non-localized" $\rightarrow$ field runoff).
