Answer 2

Answer;

d. bacterial.

Step-by-step explanation;

-When water is polluted, it becomes unsafe for human consumption because the water contains dangerous or toxic substances and disease-causing bacteria and organisms. Pollution may be caused by natural sources or human activities, but regardless of the cause, the result is the same.
