C. The region’s water supply has been heavily polluted.

Explanation: The Middle East is water‑scarce (few renewable freshwater resources) and most water is used for irrigation, not factories. Access to clean water is uneven. Meanwhile many rivers, aquifers, and coastal areas suffer pollution from untreated sewage, agricultural runoff, industrial discharge and salinization.
