Geography

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.

Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

C. Ii. And iii.

Explanation:

Snow leopards are the endangered specie. They have been hunted down by the people to extract their valuable bones, organs and skins that are used for the manufacture of other products. The other reason include the stress on the food of the leopards by the human population. People living around the habitat of the leopards overgraze the greenery. Lack of greenery reduces the prey of leopards and hence leads to lower down the population of leopards. Hunting of the leopards is very prevalent as a measure against saving the livestock of the farmers. Most often, the leopards are hunted down because of their intrusion in the residential areas to find food.
