Answer
A
Environmental factors can directly and indirectly lead to disease.
B
A physical environmental factor is bacteria

Pollution in the air and water are environmental factors.
D
Sickle-cell anemia is caused indirectly by environmental factors.

Explanation

Environmental factors can affect health directly or indirectly, so A is correct. Air and water pollution are environmental factors, making C correct. B is incorrect because bacteria are biological factors, not physical environmental factors. Sickle-cell anemia is inherited and caused by a genetic change, not indirectly caused by environmental factors, so D is incorrect.
