Here's the explanation:
(A) Air Pollution: The primary source of air pollution is combustion of coal (III). This includes coal-fired power plants, industrial boilers, and other activities that release gases and particulate matter into the atmosphere.
(B) Water Pollution: The main source of water pollution is effluents from industries (IV). These effluents, often containing untreated chemicals, heavy metals, and other harmful substances, contaminate water bodies like rivers and lakes.
(C) Land Pollution: A major source of land pollution is the use of pesticides (I). These chemicals, while helpful in controlling pests, can accumulate in the soil and harm beneficial organisms, contaminate groundwater, and pose risks to human health.
(D) Noise Pollution: Advertising media, such as loudspeakers and billboards, are not typically considered major sources of noise pollution (II). While they can contribute to noise levels in some areas, the primary sources are usually traffic, construction activities, and industrial machinery.
