Answer:

The answer is indeed letter c. It contains a negative connotation because when something is contaminated, it contains a harmful substance.

Explanation:

To contaminate means to make something impure by exposing it to (or adding to it) a polluting substance. In other words, if something is contaminated, it is now polluted and has harmful effects. In the sentence we are studying here, the author is talking about the laws that regulate the dumping of waste. If done wrong, it can pollute drinking water supplies, making such water improper for human consumption due to its harmful effects. Thus, "contaminated" has a negative connotation, related to the existence of a harmful substance.
