D. Conserving water

Answer 1

Explanation: Using artificial fertilizers instead of composting is one of the main causes of water pollution. When it rains the artificial fertiliser will run into lakes, ponds, or any other body of water. The water will then be polluted with chemicals. Composting will not do this. There are no chemicals in compost.

Answer 2

A. Using artificial fertilizers instead of composting

Step-by-step explanation:

Composting is actually more better than fertilizers usually, as it takes natural waste and with help of nature, returning the nutrients into soil once again. However, Artificial fertilizers usually uses chemicals to ensure that weed does not grow, and may contain other "unnatural" ingredients to ensure that only the crop grows on the field. Because of the usage of non-natural ingredients, any run-off can prove to be detrimental to any animals that eat any of the run-off infected material, or drink the polluted water.
