Answer and Solution

Answer

C. Heavy Metals

Solution:

Heavy Metals are a significant concern from the chemical industry, as they can be released into water bodies, impacting human and ecological health. While plastic waste is a major environmental concern, it is not primarily associated with chemicals, and fly ash is linked to thermal plants. E-waste is related to electronics.
