Question 1 • World History

B
The use of natural fertilizer on infertile soil causes soil pollution.
C
Chemicals seeping from a manufacturing plant causes air pollution.
D
The use of pesticides on plants causes air and water pollution.

Explanation

Pesticides are applied to plants and can wash off into nearby water or become airborne as spray or vapor. This shows one pollution source affecting more than one part of the environment: air and water. The other choices either describe a questionable source of pollution or do not show one form affecting another.
