What defines nonpoint-source pollution?

Pollution from a single, specific site.
Pollution from a variety of sources.
Pesticides toxic to a wide range of organisms.
Maximum dose of a nonselective pesticide.

The correct answer is: Pollution from a variety of sources.

Nonpoint-source pollution refers to pollution that comes from a variety of sources and is not easily traceable to a single, specific site. Unlike point-source pollution which originates from a specific, identifiable source, nonpoint-source pollution comes from diffuse sources such as urban runoff, agriculture practices, or atmospheric deposition. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Options A, C, and D are not defining characteristics of nonpoint-source pollution.
