The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Run-off from Fields**: - Run-off from fields refers to the water that flows over the land surface from agricultural fields, which can carry fertilizers, pesticides, and other pollutants into nearby water bodies. 2. **Identifying Types of Pollution**: - There are different types of pollution sources: - **Point Source Pollution**: Contaminants that enter the environment from a specific, identifiable source (e.g., pipes, smokestacks). - **Line Source Pollution**: Pollution that comes from a linear source, such as roadways or railways. - **Area Source Pollution**: Pollution that comes from a specific area but is not easily identifiable as a single source. - **Diffuse Source Pollution**: Pollution that comes from multiple, dispersed sources and is often associated with runoff. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Point Source Pollution**: Incorrect, as run-off does not come from a single identifiable source. - **Line Source Pollution**: Incorrect, as run-off does not originate from a linear source. - **Area Source Pollution**: Correct, as run-off from fields is a type of non-point source pollution that can be attributed to agricultural areas. - **Diffuse Source Pollution**: Incorrect, as this term is broader and does not specifically categorize run-off from fields. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question "Run-off from fields is" is **Area Source Pollution**.
