Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
(A) Noise Pollution — this matches (III) Advertising Media. Loudspeakers and loud advertising raise noise above the tolerance level.
(B) Land Pollution — this matches (II) Pesticides and fertilisers. Their use leaves harmful residue in the soil.
(C) Air Pollution — this matches (IV) Combustion of coal. Burning coal releases oxides of sulphur and nitrogen into the air.
(D) Water pollution — this matches (I) Sewage disposal. Sewage carries dirt and germs into rivers and lakes.
Note: One item of this match fits two entries in Table 9.1:
- (I) Sewage disposal is a source of both air pollution and water pollution. Combustion of coal goes only with air pollution, so sewage disposal goes with water pollution, and only Option (4) fits all four pairs.
