The best answer is B. Farmers contribute to water pollution by fertilizing their crops with nitrogen compounds. Fertilizers have high contents of nutrients which includes compounds with nitrogen. This may contribute to water pollution when farmers overfertilize their crops which some of the fertilizers run off to bodies of water and may cause eutrophication.
