Answer:

Two-third of the toxic metal, mercury comes from gold mining.

Explanation:

During gold mining small pieces of gold which are within  the soil are separated with the help of mercury. Both gold and mercury are mixed and they forms amalgam. Further gold can be extracted by vaporizing the mercury, thus releasing it into air and contributing to two-third of the air pollution by human activities.

Therefore (d) gold mining is the correct answer.
