Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Pollution of water originates from human activities. Through different paths, pollution reaches surface or ground water.
water soluble inorganic chemicals that include heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, nickel etc constitute an important class of pollutants. All these metals are dangerous to humans because our body cannot excrete them. Over the time, it crosses the tolerance limit. These metals then can damage kidneys, central nervous system, liver etc
Clean water would have BOD value of less than 5 ppm whereas highly polluted water could have a value of 17 ppm or more
