D. Mining in the region has polluted many sources of freshwater.
The Canadian Shield is rich in minerals and has been a focal point for mining activities. These operations often lead to significant environmental issues, including the pollution of freshwater sources due to the runoff of metals and chemicals used during the mining process. This not only affects local ecosystems but also poses risks to wildlife and human health.
