Cow pasture.
Reasons: manure and fertilizer used on pastures contain phosphorus that runs off into nearby water during rain, causing eutrophication and algal blooms. Forested land generally contributes little phosphorus, solar panels aren’t a source, and “many cars” aren’t a typical cause of high phosphorus in ponds.
