Explanation:

Answer:

B. Leachate is a liquid that can seep from landfills, but it is not typically released into the air; it can contaminate soil and groundwater. Methane gas can build up around landfills as organic waste decomposes anaerobically, and residents near an old landfill can be exposed to groundwater contamination from leachate and other pollutants that seep into the ground. So the correct answer is A and C.
