C Correct answer
Explanation

Kanpur is considered one of the most polluted stretches of the Ganga due to its large-scale leather tanning industry, which releases toxic chromium and other chemicals into the river. The city has over 400 tanneries that discharge untreated effluents. While Varanasi and other cities also have pollution issues, Kanpur's industrial pollution is particularly severe and well-documented as a critical pollution hotspot on the Ganga.
