Verified Answer :

CIt can pollute the groundwater.

The answer is C, it can pollute the groundwater which is a major source of freshwater. Groundwater is also one of our most important sources of water for irrigation.

Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use.
