Which of the following is a nonpoint source of water quality degradation?

Textile manufacturer discharges
Pulp mill effluent
Stormwater runoff
Raw sewage pipe overflow

Explanation

Answer: C - Stormwater runoff is a primary nonpoint source cause of water quality issues. Runoff prevents the water from being absorbed into the ground and leads to stormwater systems being overtaxed, which inhibits their effectiveness. The other three responses are all examples of point source causes of water quality issues.
