Answer:

B) Air pollution.

Explanation:

While air pollution is not the main way for all heavy metals to get into the environment it is one of the most efficient ways that the environment gets polluted.

Air pollution is dangerous since it damages not only human bodies but also plants, animals and the ozone layer. The metals also deposit in the soil so they can get into the water and hurt the environment even more.
