Point source pollution refers to the pollution that can be traced back to a single identifiable source, such as a pipe or outfall from an industrial facility. Industrial effluent is an example of point source pollution because it is discharged from a single source, such as a factory or industrial plant. Therefore, option B is the correct answer to the above question.

Option 1 is incorrect because agricultural runoff is an example of non-point source pollution.

Option 3 is incorrect because oil spills can come from a variety of sources, making it difficult to identify a single identifiable source.

Option 4 is incorrect because acid rain is a form of atmospheric pollution that can come from a variety of sources, making it difficult to identify a single identifiable source.
