Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Turbidity in bodies of water gets worse only if the waste is dumped directly into the water. Here it happens at a landfill.

C. Disturbance of aquatic life again only happens if the waste is dumped directly into the water.

D. Noise pollution happens if the landfill is near someone's home or office but landfills usually are not.

E. Reduction in the oxygen level of water again only happens if the waste is dumped directly into the water.

The only answer left is B. toxic water table and it happens when toxic substances leak from a landfill into ground water table.
