How many industrial categories have been identified as significantly polluting by the CPCB?

- The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India identifies specific industrial categories that are significantly polluting.

- Traditionally, CPCB categorized industries into 17 major highly polluting industries.

- These "17 categories" are notorious for having a high pollution load, contributing significantly to water, air, and land pollution.

- Option 1: 17 is the correct answer.

- Option 2: 25, Option 3: 27, and Option 4: 31 are not the numbers associated with the original highly polluting categories defined by CPCB.

- These 17 categories include industries such as tanneries, distilleries, pesticides, sugar, and paper & pulp among others.
