Answer:

Option B, Production of clothing items makes pollutants that contaminate the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clothes manufacturing is a commercial activity. Most of the clothes, now days are made up of synthetic fibers and hence are non-degradable under normal scenarios.

Textile and fabric industries use lot of water for washing and dyeing which ultimately is disposed of as waste water into the nearby water bodies. This leads to water pollution.

Hence, option B is correct
