The statement that contamination of lakes and rivers from pollutants in rainwater runoff exceeds that from industrial discharge plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
It is a conclusion for which the claim that water itself should be considered a polluter is offered as support.
It is cited as evidence that pollution from rainwater runoff is a more serious problem than pollution from industrial discharge.
It is a generalization based on the observation that rainwater runoff picks up oil and other pollutants as it washes over buildings and pavements.
It is a premise offered in support of the conclusion that water itself is among the biggest water polluters.
It is stated to provide an example of a typical kind of city pollution.
