Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fertilizer- enriched runoff from agricultural fields is an example of nonpoint-source pollution because it comes from many different sources (multiple fields), making it difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the pollution. The other options are examples of point-source pollution because they come from specific sources that can be identified, such as a ship or an industrial facility. Sewage from a municipal sewage treatment plant may be considered point-source pollution as well, as it comes from a specific facility.
