Answer:

The correct answer is B. An outbreak of cholera would be the most likely impact from the type of pollution of the Oshiwara River.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Oshiwara River is located in the suburbs of Mumbai city, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The river originates in Borivali National Park and flows through the industrial area of ​​Andheri to the Arabian Sea near Versova.

Due to its location close to an industrial area, this river has an enormous pollution of industrial waste from factories located in that area, mainly plastic products, corrosive liquids, fuels and toxic industrial wastes. These materials generate high unhealthiness in the river, which is a source of various diseases for the surrounding population, such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid fever or meningitis.
