Answer: b) the number of sources of pollution

Explanation:

Pollution is the introduction of harmful or toxic substances in the environment of a substance.

Point source pollution is the pollution from a single identifiable source. Example of a point source pollution is pollutants from factories and sewage treatment plants.

Non point source pollution is from a number of sources and we may not identify all of the sources.Thus non point pollution is also termed as diffused pollution. Example of a non point source pollution is fertilizers and pesticides from agricultural lands.
