Heavy metals like mercury enter waterways by industrial dumping and poor regulatioin of effluent, and they also enter soil through a similar manner, in which waste is disposed of imporperly. Another source of heavy metals are the gases leaving industry carrying these metals. The metals fall as a solid on to soil and water ways. Therefore, the answer is D.
