Answer:

It should be noted the options for the question are not complete. But the answer is,

As capillaries become engorged, the upper respiratory tract is affected by the subsequent edema and hyperemia, which causes these conditions, seen commonly during pregnancy.

Explanation:

Nasal congestion is a situation where the nasal passage become blocked. This is due to the swollen of the tiny blood vessel lining the nose. This is because the  blood vessels have been inflamed.

There are many methods which can be adopted to relieve it.Some of them are

* Drinking lots of fluid

* Breathe in steam from a container with warm water

* using vaporizer

* Avoiding chlorinated pools.

Epistaxis is known to be bleeding from the nose. This can be caused by been exposed to dry air, which can cause the damage of the tiny blood vessels.

One of the methods that can be use as treatment is cauterization.  This is the use of chemical swabs to cautirize the nose , and this eventually seals the damaged blood vessels.

This is an emergency situation in a pregnant woman because, it may may reduce the amount of oxygen required by the unborn baby.

Which of the following is a nonpoint source of water pollution
Leokris [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river" is a non-point source of water pollution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Bank erosion is the washing away of stream or river banks. This is distinct from erosion of the watercourse bed, known as scour. These erosion undermines the roots of trees which develop by a lake. As the roots closely connect the soil, they form abutments that jut out above the surface.

Non-point source water contamination is induced by widespread and isolated waste sources such as rain and snowmelt runoff, spills, leaks, and sediment erosions. To release any pollutant, without a permit, from a point source into navigable waters is illegal according to the Clean Water Act.
