The correct answer is letter D, non-point source pollution is difficult to regulate, because its source is difficult to track.These are pollution indirectly cause by land run-off, precipitation, among others. It is also caused by rainfall or snow melt that's moving on top or through the ground. NPS can actually cause pollution on drinking water.
