Brief Explanations

The EPA's Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act fund) is financed by the US government (through taxpayer funds and congressional appropriations) and companies that are found to be responsible for the pollution (via liability for cleanup costs). The first option is incorrect as the Superfund wasn't formed under Teddy Roosevelt, the Sierra Club is an environmental advocacy group and not a financier of Superfund, and the last option's organization isn't a financier of Superfund.

Answer:

B. the US government and companies that pollute
