MCQ
Pollution is mainly caused by :
- AIncrease in population and decrease in natural resources.
- BIndustrialisation.
- CUrbanization and deforestation.
- ✓All the above.

Answer
Correct option: D.
All the above.
Population explosion ends up in over use of natural resources and hence pollutes the environment. For example higher population pollutes our water resources around us.
industralisation ends up in the release of effluents into water bodies or spoiling land areas.
Cutting down trees for fuel and burning end up in air pollution.
Urbanisation after deforestation ends up in polluted atmosphere and deficit of fresh water for human use.
