Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is c. Thermal power plant.

Explanation:

Thermal power plants are considered to be the major source of thermal pollution in water bodies. These power plants use water as a coolant, to cool down the machines or big power plants. They collect water from nearby water bodies and use it as a coolant. The temperature of water rises and then the water is released back. Such high-temperature water can cause a sharp increase in water bodies leading to thermal pollution.
