The option which is correct about the US Clean Water Act is B. It was the first clean water act in US history.
The Act came out in 1948 and was the first of its kind to fight pollution in waters and provide people with better and healthier water to use and consume for their needs. It was important at the time, as it is now, to raise awareness of this issue and to combat it any way possible.
