Explanation:

Question 5

To determine the percentage of beach closures linked to the Tijuana River, we rely on environmental and public health data related to the Tijuana River's impact on beach closures. Typically, studies show that a significant portion (around 76%) of beach closures in the relevant area (near the Tijuana River - U.S. border) are linked to the Tijuana River due to pollution runoff.

The U.S. Clean Water Act is a federal law of the United States. Laws of a country are generally enforceable only within the territorial boundaries of that country. So the U.S. Clean Water Act can only be enforced within U.S. borders, which is why it cannot be enforced in Mexico.

Answer:

D. 76%
