d

Step-by-step explanation:

Industries Pollute because of following reasons

Lack of Policies and Unplanned industrial growth Application of obsolete technologies Inefficient Waste disposal

As the cost of disposal is high so industries dump their waste in the nearby water bodies which causes water pollution. As industries want to maximize their profit so they neglect the disposal part to increase it.

Proper disposal includes the treatment of waste material to reduce its hazardous nature.
