The environmental problems faced by South Asia include the following:

  1. Lack of agricultural land
  2. Water pollution due to sewage entering rivers
  3. Air pollution caused by exhaust from vehicles and industry
  4. Flooding caused by heavy monsoons
  5. Climate change threatening the region

The options "Overabundance of fresh drinking water" and "Extreme cold weather year-round" do not accurately represent environmental problems in South Asia. South Asia generally struggles with water scarcity issues rather than an abundance, and extreme cold weather is not a predominant issue in the region.
