a. true
b. false

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

The term "nonpoint source pollution" is used when pollutions occurs from an undefined or diffuse source such as rainfall, drainage or smoke that pollute air or water but cannot be clearly identified or traced and because of this in most cases are difficult to regulate as there are multiple sources or the source cannot be identified. This type of pollution is opposite to point source pollution which is an identifiable source of pollution, usually because the pollution occurs at a single point. In the case of an overturned oil tanker, this type of pollution usually occurs at a single point and not for multiple sources, also this can be identified, traced and control which means this is an example of point source pollution rather than nonpoint source pollution and therefore, it is false an overturned oil tanker is an example of nonpoint source pollution.
