Where does pollution originate from in the case of large, diffuse areas like movement of pesticides into groundwater after broadcast application to agricultural fields or turf areas?

  1. point-source pollution

  2. nonpoint-source pollution

  3. Runoff

  4. Temperature Inversion

The correct answer is: nonpoint-source pollution

Nonpoint-source pollution originates from large, diffuse areas and does not come from a single, identifiable source. Options A, C and D are all forms of point-source pollution, where pollution originates from a specific source such as a factory or power plant. In the case of large, diffuse areas like movement of pesticides into groundwater, nonpoint-source pollution is the most likely answer. This type of pollution includes a wide range of sources, such as agricultural runoff, urban runoff, and atmospheric deposition, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific source. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
