Question

a source of pollution that cannot be traced because it comes from many, dispersed sources is what type of pollution? nonpoint source of pollution point source of pollution

Explanation:

To determine the type of pollution, we analyze the definitions:

• A nonpoint source of pollution comes from many dispersed sources (e.g., runoff from multiple farms, urban streets) and is hard to trace to a single origin.
• A point source of pollution comes from a single, identifiable source (e.g., a factory chimney, a sewage pipe).

The question describes pollution from many dispersed sources, so it matches the nonpoint source definition.

Answer:

A. Nonpoint source of pollution
