The correct answer is B. The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, helped promote the environmental movement because  pollutants on its surface caught fire and attracted media attention.

Explanation:

The Cuyahoga River is a river of the Half West of the United States that flows by the state of Ohio until draining in Lake Erie, in the city of Cleveland. Its 160-km-long course begins in Geauga County, runs south to Cuyahoga Falls, where it turns sharply northward and passes through Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

It was one of the most polluted rivers in the United States, burning on thirteen occasions between 1868 and 1969. A few years later a federal law limited dumping and the situation has improved. On September 11, 1997, President Bill Clinton designated this river as one of the fourteen that make up the American Heritage Rivers system.

These coordinates are what the Global Position System or GPS uses to provide an accurate locational relay. Longitude and latitude lines measure the distance from the Earth's Equator or central axis - running east to west - and the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England - running north to south.
