The answer is b.mining of uranium

Step-by-step explanation:

Uranium is known as a radioactive element which is used as a fuel to power a nuclear energy plant. Mining of uranium could cause it to mix with air and water which results in contamination.

When contamination occurs and it gets into the body of humans or animals by inhalation or ingestion it poses a high risk of cancer and kidney damage.
